In Norway, my home country, it has never been an issue in our 200 years as an independent country for anyone to get an ID to vote. And we used to be mostly dirt poor fishers and farmers that often lived in fairly isolated places.
Instituting the voter ID law makes it harder for 6.5% of people that rarely vote for Republicans to vote to prevent 0.000X% of votes cast fraudulently each election.
Do you get it now?
The reason why I think so is that people that are not poor can not lead their lives without a bank account due to the essentials for a non poor life requiring a bank account.
They don’t care about voter fraud. At all.
They care about adding enough shit together that they can win elections.
That is all they care about.
It is not in good faith. It is not about protecting the sanctity of elections.
It is about the opposite. They’ve never been able to show that voter fraud has ever affected an election.
They’re in it because even shaving a percentage of people from voting Democrat is worth it for them.
That is it. That’s the only reason.
Goodbye.
Maybe it is a different situation in India, but here the people proposing voter identification laws are doing so in bad faith.
They’re trying to make it harder to vote so elections are less fair, as opposed to making elections more fair by guaranteeing the sanctity of the individuals vote which is the position they’re pretending to be standing on.
