@sjw It's so funny because everything they say is actually quite racist: the idea that black Americas don't have access to the Internet, that the majority of them are poor and therefore do not own cars (or own but not legally drive cars with a license, because they can't get access). This may have been true a long time ago, but access to state ID is no longer costly or difficult.

While I'm very strongly for voter ID requirements at the same time I do recognize the real reason people are against them, and its simple.. IDs cost money, time and effort to get. So the poor and homeless are less likely to be able to vote. This tends to effect minority communities more strongly than others.
The solution in my mind is simple. Make IDs free and offer better services for people to go through the hoops needed to obtain them, but doing away with vote IDs all together seems like the wrong way to go.
I agree though, letting people who are not citizens vote is not the motive in the least.
Yes, we want all US citizens who have a right to vote to be able to exercise that right. If you want to change that, then make an amendment to the constitution, good luck passing it.
I for one would never support a law that seeks to exclude anyone with a legal right to vote from being able to do so, no matter how trivial.
