So, in the last election there were only 6 cases of electoral #fraud (#MattHancock has reluctantly admitted). This from a #voting population of over 45M
You'll be aware of the number of cases of fraud by #Tory MPs (from a population of 355) exceeds this in nominal terms & is vastly larger in proportional terms.
So, let be clear, #voterID is about voter suppression not fraud.
If the #Tories were interested in #democratic fraud they'd put their own house in order.

@ChrisMayLA6 It's estimated that around 1 million voters don't have acceptable ID to vote but only 60,000 applications for Voter Authority Certificates have been made, so up to 940,000 voters have been disenfranchised for the sake of six fraudulent votes, some of which were cast for the Tories anyway. I can't believe the broader public are so blasé about it.
@kennykravitz I think they're blasé because most people have an ID and need to present it in a wide array of situations that all seem pretty reasonable, from the bank to getting pulled over in a car. Giving some evidence that you are who you say you are when you vote just *feels* reasonable. Normies really don't care.
In fact, by far most people want a voter id requirement. Most Democrats, most black people, most everyone wants it.
I don't think it does much good to have one, but doesn't seem to hurt in terms of turnout by race or party or anything.
