    The idea that voter ID laws are pro-white-hegemony is basically racist.

    That law resulted in the ineligibility of an estimated 608,470 registered voters in Texas, representing a total of about 4.5% of registered voters in the state at the time.

    How did these people register to vote without ID? How, if IDs aren’t checked in that process, do we know some of those people weren’t registered twice or more?

      The federal oversight has a lot of opinions and there are hundreds of write ups about it if you don’t like the easily accessible article I linked. The fact that voter fraud has been proven to not be an issue in US elections has a lot of write ups too.

      Saying “we don’t know” ignores the fact that ee do know and is just a talking point based on nothing from the people that want to suppress the vote. You know, Republicans.
