because every single person has a driver's license. WTF dude?
As I said, there are quite a few options:
-Wisconsin driver's license
-ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service
-Wisconsin non-driver ID
-U.S. Passport
-Certificate of naturalization issued not more than 2 years before the election
-ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in WI
-Student ID card with a signature, an issue date, and an expiration date no later than 2 years after the election
-a photo ID card provided by the Veteran's Health Administration
The only one of those that's really available to everyone is the "non-driver ID" (passports cost money and people who don't travel abroad don't bother). And non-driver IDs are still a hassle to get. Also I went to a major state university and my ID from there would not pass muster according to this test. I don't know if schools in Wisconsin are different, but there are students from Wisconsin who attend out of state schools.
Also you realize that the people supporting these laws have admitted that they're doing it for partisan reasons. Why are you defending people who have actively refuted your defenses of them?
Those people are idiots.
Yes, it's an example of throwing out the baby and the bathwater. I still get annoyed anytime a smug Dem hack claims tax cuts are racist because muh Lee Atwater said they were before I was even born. People can have different motivations for supporting the same policy. Hell, Jimmy Carter recommended voter IDs in mid 00's.
