    Nonsense. Those same minorities vote and get IDs in other states just fine. They will continue to do so. Those minorities can get Valid State IDs like everyone else. They can get Driver's Licenses and State IDs without any issue and have been doing so for many years which have nothing to do with the Voting Rights Act. Its still Federal Law that makes sure qualified Americans can recieve ID's. Its also Federal Law that states Voter Registration. These laws weren't hurt minority American Citizens at all.

    The ones it will hurt are all of the illegal aliens, the dead, and those making false names to vote under in some states. Remember in some states to get an ID you don't need any proof you are who you say to be thus is how illegal aliens can get IDs and also by the Federal Motor Voter Law get registered to vote as illegal aliens.

    All they said was that you can't use data from 1972 as evidence 40 years later.

This is the same ID that you need to be on welfare, to have a checking account, to board a plane, to buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol, etc. As a matter of fact, in my area you have to have a photo ID to go to the pool so that they can make sure that you are not a sex offender.
