OT: Voter ID

[Scoop123]

I'm more riled up about how states have gerrymandered voting districts to skew representation. This is an issue that has far more impact on democratic elections than voter ID and should be a priority, IMO.

I totally agree with you! It is sad that gerrymandering has given us this corruption:

• New Hampshire: ~48% Republican vote share, 0 GOP House members

• Maine: ~46% Republican vote share, 0 GOP House members

• Massachusetts: ~36% Republican vote share, 0 GOP House members

• Connecticut: Sizable GOP voter minority, 0 GOP House members

• Rhode Island: Sizable GOP voter minority, 0 GOP House members

• Vermont: Sizable GOP voter minority, 0 GOP House member

How would showing ID suppress voting? You basically have to show 2 forms of id to sign up for anything. Pretty much most states require it except the ones that cheat

As I said, I'm ok with voter ID was long as it doesn't suppress voting. Politicians can and will design voter ID requirements to limit opposition just like they gerrymandered voting districts to give their party an advantage.

Yup and just as prevalent on Republican side. This isn't a right/left issue it's a fairness issue.
