Some people live in places like Alabama who passed a voter ID law then closed all the offices that issue IDs in all of the poor and blqck neighborhoods. They did this despite having passed a bond issue the year before that was supposed to guarantee they stayed open.

This is the real issue.

They target areas of poor and disenfranchised people.

So now someone who literally cannot afford to miss work, both financially and sometimes in the purview of their job not allowing them to do so, to go the handful of times the ID office is open, which is only on every 3rd Tuesday following a massive rainstorm. And if they don't have the proper forms, which in themselves can be a massive hurdle if they don't have access to a computer or if they misunderstand what is required or simply mess up filling out a form, then they have to wait til the next time they can catch said office open.

It's literally anti-American. States that put undue pressure like this on its citizenry are wholesale failed States and should be treated as such. If a government cannot afford to supply its citizenry basic identification, then the government has no business existing
