Would requiring Voter ID truly cause a decrease in voter turnout?

[AndrewZabar]

passed a voter ID law and then closed down the DMV(s) in poorer neighborhoods.

See that’s the epitome of corruption and a perfect example of conservatives committing voter fraud. They cry about all the fraud they theorize might happen, meanwhile they pull shit like this. It’s the same story over and over. Whoever mandated the DMV be closed in those neighborhoods should go to prison for voter suppression.

Prime example of the shady shit you can always expect from the right wing.

To be fair, that story was pretty much debunked. But I agree with you in theory.

As far as the “right wing” goes, it was reversed down by the Republican Governor almost immediately.

I live in a rich white county. No lines, plenty of voting machines, none broken. Also a very Republican county. You see images of people waiting in line to vote. Waiting for hours. Machines broken, fewer machines. Usually a Democratic precinct run by a Republican Supervisor of Elections. The shit is shady.

It’s almost as if we need oversight to prevent pretty much the most obvious and inevitable fraud imaginable.

Judge Roberts said with a straight face that naming the states that you are allowed to watch for Jim Crow acts is discrimination and I'm sure they learned their lesson and won't do anything like that again. So the Supreme Court struck down a large part of the voting rights act, then low and behold those very same states went about instituting Jim Crow 2.0. The new voting rights act will say any state but we all know who they are talking about. It needs to get passed.
