It is not like any polling stations are treating democrats any different than Republicans.


No one is arguing that is the case.

If it was really a matter of "proving who you are when you vote" then any form of photo ID should be sufficient. Costco card? Boom, has picture on the back, feel free to vote. College ID card? Picture. Vote.

But no, even in places where they put a picture ID requirement they've decide it wasn't far enough and decided it had to be very specific picture IDs.

It is not good enough anywhere else. Try going to a medical clinic for substance abuse health and proving who you are with a damn Costco card. Try buying a gun with a college Id. Try entering a bar with your work badge.

Like, stop making excuses for literal laziness of your party to make people aware and care enough to get people IDs.


Voting should have a lower barrier to entry than any of those things

Is any of those things unfairly discriminating against minorities? Yes or no?

If it is not, then it is not doing so by requiring it to vote.

And, yes, closing dmvs for not reasonable reasons in specifically Democratic or Republicans areas just to try and make it harder for them is bullshit. I agree on that.
