(11 posts)"The voter ID law depressed turnout in the 2014 election, but it did so primarily through confusion, not through actually keeping people without IDs from voting, said Mark P. Jones, a professor at Rices Baker Institute for Public Policy and an author of the study."
Sounds like mass confusion. Mass confusion is not discrimination
The article pointed out that the great state of Texas spent $2 million in an education effort.
The law requires most citizens (some, like people with disabilities, can be exempt) to show one of a handful of forms of allowable photo identification before their election ballots can be counted. Acceptable forms include a state driver's license or ID card that is not more than 60 days expired at the time of voting, a concealed handgun license, a U.S. passport, a military ID card or a U.S citizenship certificate with a photo."
Sounds like many forms of id are acceptable.
I just don't understand how producing an id discriminates against anyone. This study seems to suggest head up butt syndrome was the problem. Do you want me to believe minorities are just too dumb, because thats what it seems like you are saying.
