What’s wrong with showing an ID to vote? What’s the big deal?

Think of it like gun nuts feel about registering their guns. FYI, it is not showing ID to vote, that pissed off people, it was changing the rules as to what qualified as ID.

There is no need for further showing of an ID to vote. Every body does that now when they register to vote. That's all that's necessary. The bogus requirements from righties to show further ID or multiple special IDs to obtain a ballot are merely efforts to make voting more difficult for poorly resourced people.

I've got NO PROBLEM with the theory of voter ID, as long as it's free and easy. I DO have a problem with the practice of making it differentially harder for the elderly & working poor. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-re... "Voter ID laws have been estimated by the U.S. Government Accountability Office to reduce voter turnout by 2-3 percentage points, translating to tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state." https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-th...

More concerning is the provision that the state can intervene in local elections if they don't like the outcome of the election. That is the big deal.

The same people would climb a mountain to get something for free - but no matter how much you give them, all they can do is b11tch and complain. Screw 'em.

It is only a big deal when someone throws race into it. Like people of color is too stupid to get an ID
It isn't a big deal unless you are trying to cheat the system.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.
You have to show ID for all kinds of things, but our "liberal" friends consider voting to be so minor that showing ID for it makes it not worth the trouble. Or some such chit – never COULD figure out what goes on in the minds of "liberals"!!! lol

It was meant to be another stumbling block to keep the poor from voting democratic as they knew it would be difficult for many of the to obtain an ID.
