Why should it be free, because voting is a right?
What about owning a gun, that needs to be free too then right?
Yeah damn it, when do I get my free gun?
Because you dont get your gun from the government. You get your IDs from the government.
So if you need those to purchase a gun, the ID must be free, right? As well as any permits required?

The minorities in the states need ID just to walk down the street, I thought. Aren't they getting checked out by law enforcement a lot?

why don't you all go get a civics lesson, and go down to your county or city register of voters and see how they process the verification of legal voters. there is ongoing voter suppression in the southern states of the US, to keep minorities from voting....there has been case after case brought before federal courts that this is happening.....google is your friend

Were you demanding free ID's for getting a gun? Free background checks? I have no problem with free or paid .. my problem is the double standard where liberals are so concerned about one right being free because it's a right .. and then make another right as costly as possible.
Not saying YOU, but in general. I am fine with free, or paid, I just want consistency.

If you toss "racist" at Voter ID you're a damn retard... how on Earth is it racist?
I'm far left wing, and I'd be terrified to live in a system where voter ID wasn't a demand without excuse.
Basically, if you aren't able to get a voter ID, you are most likely not elligeble to live in the country, and if you aren't eligeble, you don't get to have a say on how the country is run.
How can people not see that???
The American election yet again again again, turned out to be a complete and utter JOKE, a DISGRACE to democracy.
Amongst the reasons was you guys allowing foreigners voting... what the hell is up with that!?

How does it disenfranchise specific populations? That is like saying SS card, driver license, passport, CC license, hunting fishing license, credit cards, military ID and so on do this too.
This is 2017 folks lol get out of the 50s...

Its not the IDs that disenfranchise its the other laws that are passed with them. Requiring documents that some older or poorer people never received. Limiting the open times on places that issue IDs. Having to Pay money to get req documents for IDs. This is the problem the left has.
