I don’t really buy this. This is more an artifact of the US (insanely) not having any form of national ID.

It’s not for you to buy. This is a well studied, well analyzed area because the GOP wants voter ID laws to reduce minorities and the poor at the polls.

Oh I know that.

To be clear what I don’t buy is voter ID having a suppressive effect iff we had an actual national ID

Plenty of countries have no national photo ID. UK, Norway and Denmark to name three in EU.

What's so great about a national ID except more government control?
