We need a national poll to find out what Black people need in order to vote
The Black people must be very grateful to have a bunch of white people finding out what black people need.

So yes, I agree with network dude we should have ID to vote. But I also know better and know that the only reason why certain sections of society want to us ID is because it disenfranchises the poor.

I already stated why some people dont have id it's because they dont want it. They like to make it hard to identify themselves because they are the undesirable types.
They dont want or need an id because they are usually criminals. I see it daily on cops reloaded.
The majority of the people on there that get arrested claim they dont have id give false/fake names and wrong date of births.
I have yet to see an episode where a person who didnt have id didnt get arrested for some other felony warrant or whatnot as they try to lie about who they are.

You yourself said that they are responsible people. I said show me just one responsible minority adult that does NOT have an ID.
I knew a guy named Walter who didn't have Identification. He won $500 in the Michigan lottery. Couldn't claim it without a photo ID. Do I have to say what happened next?

I know it is NOT your intent, but be aware that someone will be along to tell you how patronizing and racist your OP is.
I don't remember black folks having any problems accomplishing these things when I was a young man living in the big city. What happened? Also, I'm not hearing any black folks I know at present complaining. Is this isolated to certain parts of the country maybe?

Not the same but nice try the constitution gave you the right to have a gun. It did not say what you had to do to purchase one. i could give you one of my rifles and nothing could stop you from keeping it. works the same with tobacco restrictions the restrictions is on the sale but you cant be arrested for having cigarettes even as a minor. a 12 year old can light up right in front of a cop and not a thing he can do to them. What he can do is try to figure out who made the sale and jail them. The restriction is on the sale not the right to have it or so the supreme court decided any way.

Yes, it is isolated to certain parts of the country - those parts where elections are close.

For this to be true, you also need to show that lack of ID is a real issue.
...
Let's just be honest...
I think Republicans have the better argument. Democrats have not shown there are a huge number of people who wat to vote but can't due to lack of ID. I've yet to hear a cogent argument or any data showing lack of ID is an issue.
