Should ALL ID requirements be thrown out then? No identification to drive, fly in a plane, get a credit card, should we get rid of passports? The thing about judicial findings is that they set precedent, so we'll see where this goes. It is unlikely, that over the long term, that the polling place will be the only place where ID is not required.

Hello? It appears you - and Danzig - don't understand the subject.

There already exists, in 100% of our states, laws set by the states where various forms of ID is required to register and vote.

That already exists. Okay? Nobody is trying to throw that requirement for Voter ID out. Okay?

These laws regarding Voter ID we are discussing are specifically making it more restrictive, making only certain types of ID acceptable. These new laws are throwing out what some states now currently find acceptable for voter ID.

That - increased, narrowed requirements to vote with only certain and specific types of Voter ID - is what is being found as discriminatory.
