If I'm being honest, I'm surprised no one pushed back at my idea of a "national ID". Conservative used to oppose that idea. That we use social security cards as a faux-national ID used to be controversial.
Learn me --- were is it stated in the Constitution one must have an ID to vote?
Oldhag quoted it before. Time, place, and manner of elections is up to the states, but with Congressional oversight if they want. No federal law forbids voter ID policy.
The requirement to have an ID to vote is not a requirement made specific in the u.s. Constitution. The ID requirement would be yet another unconstitutional law. Do we not have enough of those already?
Just because something is not specifically listed in the Constitution does not make it unconstitutional. Voter ID laws, including ones with pictures and/or provided by a government entity, were upheld as constitutional by Crawford v Marion (2008). The state only need prove they have taken steps to be inclusive and not create undue burdens on voters. This is what my state does to help those that struggle with the ID requirement - https://www.voteriders.org/states/kentucky/
The Kansas ID law (Fish v Schwab) that required residents to provide a birth certificate or passport if they wanted to register to vote was struck down at the Circuit level because there were not reasonable alternatives available to an estimated 30,000 voters and the state could only find evidence of around 60 fraudulent registrations of non-citizens. That was unconstitutional - burdensome voter without proof it was crucial to safeguard election. Allegedly, if Kansas had experienced a run of non-citizens registering or had a significant illegal population, such as California or Texas, the results may have come out different.

Nowadays with the left, if they don't like something, they say it's racist. Only Republicans can be racist though. Dems are exempt. lol hypocrites.
How the heck is requiring an ID to vote in this country racist? Y'all can't be serious.
It is racist because the radical democrats know that more black people will not make the effort to get an ID and then make the effort to vote. It is the radical democrats who racist by thinking this.
I've been trying to figure this out myself. If I need ID to get on a plane, to buy liquor, to go to the doctor, to pick up my prescriptions, why is it racist to show ID when I vote?
IMO the ones that are saying Voter ID is racist, are the racists. They are basically saying they are less intelligent?
If you have no ID, and who does not have an Id........no, you should not be able to vote.
