False: not having voter ID is used as a rationale for voter ressurection though: https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/10/27/2-investigators-chic...

Courts found that the North Carolina voter ID laws were designed to be discriminatory[1]. Same in Texas[2]. So it's definitely true in at least two cases that voter ID laws were provably designed for voter suppression.

Not only provably, but explicitly. Voter suppression was the primary intent.

Something being provably true is a higher bar than it being explicitly stated (because an explicit statement isn't enough to prove something to be true). I agree that voter suppression was the primary intent, but the legislation wasn't called "The Illegal Voter Suppression Act 2013".

Watch Broward County FL this November. Whole boxes of filled out ballots will be "found" mysteriously. Just like every election.

That is election fraud, perpetrated by the people running the elections themselves, not voter fraud. If you can't trust the people running the elections, then no amount of voter ID is going to matter.
