You know, if Democratic PACs really cared about this issue, rather than fighting it tooth and nail on laws, they can use money and resources to help poor and disadvantaged people get state IDs.
That's like saying if Democrats really wanted to help the poor, they should just give to charity.
Eh. Not really. I think having a state ID is a good practice for everyone. The motivations behind these laws are obviously suspect--if it were up to me, state IDs would be free for low income people--but having a state ID is important.
The amount of people we are talking about getting disenfranchised here is not that large. A good investment by wealthy Democratic donors could neutralize these laws easier than having to fight it politically; and if the laws become neutralized even in one state, the far right will give up their pursuit of this plan for something else.
