There’s already an established history of voter ID laws being used to suppress votes. This is not a hypothetical.

Like I said, I'm well aware.

There's also an established history of voter ID laws in other countries not being used to suppress votes. This isn't a hypothetical, either.

From which directly follows that voter ID is not racist. The right-wing politics around voter ID in US specifically is racist. If lefties keep letting right-wing own the subject, then that's all it'll ever be. But it doesn't have to be that way.
