Interesting, I bet you also can't prove that illegal voting is an issue or that it happens often.
And you can't prove that it doesn't, what we can look at is indicators. For example a TV station in Florida compared voter registration rolls to jury rolls where they claimed to be immigrants in one small county . Through that process alone they found 100 fraudulent registration and many of them voted. I like mentioneing this specific case because we know how close a presidential election can be from the experience in Florida.
The voter ID thing is just a way to make people jump through hoops. As an example I was always able to travel to Mexico and Canada without a passport. Now I paid $100 for a passport and waited three weeks. Republicans arent stupid. They are betting that their base will do whatever it takes to vote and Dems less likely. For 100 years or more you voted by signing an oath of Penalty of Perjury but now you have to have one or more pieces of ID. Where is it written in the constitution that you need voter ID?? It isnt there. Republicans are running roughshod over our rights.
Every state seeking to enact voter ID laws should also put in a place a system that will make it easier for residents to obtain the requisite ID. Unfortunately, the judiciary is resistant to something as simple as requiring an ID, so States must grease the skids in order to pass legal muster. That's the sad truth.
That would be fine but you'll notice Republicans also don't do that second part and frequently then slash the budget for getting IDs so it takes up to six months to get said ID. It's obvious their main goal is preventing citizens they don't like from voting. That's the same reason they keep cutting voting hours and eliminating early voting especially on Sundays.
so answer the question as best you can without repeating the eye rolling and deflection.
I answered your question, now answer mine.
How many people voted illegally for Al Gore?
How many people voted illegally for Bush?
If we subtract them from the totals does Gore win the Presidency?
How do you know? No one has to have an ID to prove they are a U.S. citizen or prove who they are.
It's been studied to death, and it still doesn't exist statistically. Still avoiding answer the question … Why are you solving a problem that doesn't exist?
