Most of the people they claim are being disenfranchised are likely on public assistance.
How do they access that without ID?
Public assistance doesn't ask for ID. It runs pretty much entirely off of Social Security, bank account numbers, and mailing addresses. Verification is done through back end systems (which all ultimately rely on the SSN provided) and not handing the case worker an ID.

How do you get a SSN, a bank account, or a residence?
Meanwhile, I think you are saying that it is very easy to fraud the public assistance system...

My question is, why is this even a thing? You must have an ID to cash a check, to buy beer, to buy cigarettes, to drive, to rent an apartment.
Perhaps if you were to learn the difference between a right and a privilege you would understand.
So I shouldn't need an ID to buy a gun.
You need the id for the background check to make sure you have not had any felony convictions.

You have a link to back this up? How did that happen? Election boards are supposed to be made up of equal numbers of both major parties. I'd really like to see where you got that info if you please.

I am commenting before reading the rest of the comments. The regressive leftists "believe" that requiring ID's to vote is "disenfranchising" minority voters.
It is exactly as you say it is, a rouse. They want anyone to be able to walk up and vote. Democrats lie and pander to all of the different minority groups, pretending to care about the "poor oppressed _______" in America. It all comes down to buying votes.
Once they scam people into believing they are victims, they then scam them into thinking they care about said victim group.
And then they get into office and continue business as usual with total disregard for all of the groups they just scammed.
It's a scam.

Leave it to me to put it bluntly. Yes...everything said here is correct. You should have to identify yourself and prove who you are and that you have the right to vote. But lets make it even more simple.
If you can't get an ID of some acceptable type, you either shouldn't be voting or don't have the mental capacity TO be voting.
