To the Republicans, "fair and honest voting" means voting in which only those voters that Republicans think "fair and honest" -- white Anglo property owners -- vote. Voter ID laws are intended to ensure that voting becomes more difficult and time-consuming, creating longer lines especially in places that get inadequate voting devices. If the signature does not match one needs to show that one is who one claims to be. There may be multiple applications for voter registration but one only gets one.
You imply through juxtaposition that minorities 'have no idea of what the issues are'. Being part of a minority and getting a raw deal from the economic system, I would think, would make one more aware than usual 'what the issues are'. Such people know well that "All for the Few" economics has noting to offer them.
How about:
1) the person who votes IS the registered voter they claim to be.
2) one person one vote.
3) the people not allowed to vote by law, aren't allowed to.
Is that to much to ask?... Of course not.
Are those three objectives 'accomplished' by voter ID laws?... Yes
Is this an actual appropriate use of government?... Yes
Is showing an ID a burden?... No
Is the integrity of elections important?...yes
Does voter fraud occur?...yes
Is voter fraud disenfranchising non-fraudulent votes?...yes
It looks really bad when democrats oppose a common sense, 80% approval, supreme court approved law. Stop ginning up class warfare and race wars over nothing.
