of voter fraud?

Everything you list is a privilege, not a right.

If it’s discriminatory to require a photo ID to vote is it discriminatory to require it for anything else? Simple question….

Of course it has to do with rights.

It's one thing to burden a right.

It's another to burden a privilege.

If you cannot distinguish between the two, you really should retire from this particular fray.

... problem its the hoops the GQP sends mostly PoC through to get the ***PROPPER*** Id for that voting season, precint, time, year etc etc.

Which is just a bullshit screening system to nullify votes from certain precincts (see Maddow's show tonight)

No one is against the two key system we've had for hundreds of years, Americans are against the GQP voter

Suppression
Denial
Nullification

... that they've implemented in force after J6

The "voter ID" bullshit is a lie (aka framing) to make it seem like we want anyone an everyone to vote so the GQP can scream voter fraud when they lose.

Americans want any and every ELIGIBLE person to vote ***EASILY*** and quickly, J6rs and GQP do not want that because when that happens they lose big time.

Please watch the framing of the debate, no one is against voter ID even black people are overwhelmingly for it

We're against the bullshit voter suppression, denial and nullification process's the GQP puts Americans through to vote and they frame it as "voter ID"

The photo ID itself is not thought to be a big deal because pretty much everyone has a photo ID these days. People dismiss the argument when framed that simple way because in most minds they think “who doesn’t have an ID these days”.
