Deep in the dead center of a liberal metropolis that toys with that question every 4 years. The "racist" aspect of "voter id" started in the 90s here with the idea that the only people that had time to wait in line at the DMV to get identification were rich people that could leave work for an ID. Late 90s anything or anyone in this state that mentioned "Voter ID" was touted out-loud as advocating for a "poll-tax". "You are excluding an entire segment of our city from voting that way!!!"
Well, 2 years later we had the 2000 census and what did it tell us about "Voter ID", it told us that nearly half of the entire demographic we were told we were "excluding" not only didnt bother to vote, but also didnt give a shit about identification at all.
Honestly, I have no idea what whats the way to go with this, some countries require by law that everyone votes, I have no idea how that would work here.
Without being racist, explain why voter ID is racist...
this ^
muh soft bigotry of muh low expectations
