        [deleted] 35
        
        So, in your opinion, - Strongbad Sep 19, 12:46 34
        
        Yes. Particularly given how difficult it can be for people to get state-issued ID's. - Kim Pine Sep 19, 12:57 8
        
        Plus, the costs involved in getting the documents plus the cost of the ID itself. - Spawn Sep 19, 13:00 7
        
        Right. IDs are free here, but we had a case last week where someone was still charged anyway. - Kim Pine Sep 19, 13:01 1
        
        (free if they're being obtained for voting purposes, that is) - Kim Pine Sep 19, 13:02
        
        Aren't the ID's free in some states? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 13:00 4
        
        Documentation, like a copy of a birth certificate, isn't. -- nm - mara Sep 19, 13:06

        See link below. 34 (?) states pursued voter ID laws. - Strongbad Sep 19, 13:00 9

        Just the ill, elderly and poor Democrats? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 04:10
        
        Virtually every one of those states is republican controlled. And why will it prevent those people from voting? Several reasons. Cost. Effort. - pmb Sep 19, 13:06
        
        That report says that the laws passed in those states will make it harder for five million eligible voters to vote. -- nm - Roger More Sep 19, 13:05 1

        I'm asking why because I want to fully understand your position on this issue, that's all. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 04:19
        
        that's kind of the whole point of them, no? - znufrii Sep 19, 12:53 1

        I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this point. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 13:07 1
        
        Do whatever you want that disparages Republicans, you seem to enjoy that. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 04:09
        
        Virtually every state that has introduced this (I believe it's 33 of the 34) is Republican controlled at the state level). -- nm - pmb Sep 19, 13:02
        
        it sure isn't to increase access. if it was just to get people who shouldn't vote out, all they have to do is continue what was started in the link. - dogbert Sep 19, 12:50 2
        
        If the dems didn't have such a rich history of voter fraud, that 'why' question would have a simpler answer. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 19, 12:58

        uh, yeah. They are pretty much all designed to hit urban areas hardest, namely young black people, namely Democrats. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 12:47
        
        I could be wrong, but in reading the post it sounds like he's saying to look at all the records and get the people who shouldn't be able to vote out - dogbert Sep 19, 12:38
  - ha -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 12:27

        even the 200 number may be a high estimate for any single election. - znufrii Sep 19, 12:40 3
        
        Did not click but I heard talk weeks ago and 54 was a number that voted in 2004 & 2008 combined. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 12:53 2
        
        gotcha, thanks. -- nm - znufrii Sep 19, 12:55 1
