Voter suppression is wrong (though I am for a test, once again this year the geniuses at the Stern show traveled NYC and we learned just how uninformed our voters are), confirming that a voter is who they say they are is OK with me. One case of fraud is too many.

Nobody is suddenly asking voters to prove who they are. That's not the deal with these laws.

What has happened with these laws is that all the things that you used to be able to use to prove who you are, all the forms of voter ID you have used legally in the past to allow you to vote -

- have been eliminated in some states - replaced now with more restrictive and fewer specific requirements.

These restrictive Voter ID laws are not asking for voter ID - they are taking a list of 20 items you have used a combination of, in the past, to prove who you are and enabled you to vote, and now saying only 2 or 3 of those things are valid.

Asking for voter ID is not what these laws are doing - these laws are eliminating legal voters ID's people have used in the past to legally vote.

You realize that "a test" has been overturned as an unfair discriminatory poll tax, right? It's illegal? I'll guess you don't understand why that would be illegal, because you are suggesting it
