What has happened with these laws is that all the things that you used to be able to use to prove who you are, all the forms of voter ID you have used legally in the past to allow you to vote -
- have been eliminated in some states - replaced now with more restrictive and fewer specific requirements.
These restrictive Voter ID laws are not asking for voter ID - they are taking a list of 20 items you have used a combination of, in the past, to prove who you are and enabled you to vote, and now saying only 2 or 3 of those things are valid.
You realize that "a test" has been overturned as an unfair discriminatory poll tax, right? It's illegal? I'll guess you don't understand why that would be illegal, because you are suggesting it  |
Lots of things that used to be illegal are now legal. More of those will follow. If these laws were illegal they would be overturned. Our court system is infallible.
