Insert "registration" for "ID card," and frame that statement around buying a gun, and let me now how you feel about it.

No need to 'insert' any changes.....you can't buy a gun without an ID as it is......a background check is done and a record is already kept of the guns serial number and who bought it....

Whaaa whaaaaa.....

don't care.

if you are such a retard that proof of identity is a barrier to vote, you don't have any business casting an opinion on matters of such importance.

the left needs the dumbest of the dumb to gain office. Sad.

Both sides like to lay claim to the idea that their voters are "smarter," but actual statistics - particularly from the last Presidential election - indicate that Trump/GOP voters were less educated as a whole.

Top Republican ADMITS Trump Won Wisconsin by Keeping Democrats From Voting

Election officials and Democrats in Wisconsin have repeatedly argued that the state’s strict voter ID law allowed Donald Trump to win the state in 2016 by keeping thousands of voters—predominantly in Democratic-leaning areas—from the polls. Now a top Republican official in the state is saying the same thing.

“We battled to get voter ID on the ballot for the November ’16 election,” Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, who defended the law in court, told conservative radio host Vicki McKenna on April 12. “How many of your listeners really honestly are sure that Sen. [Ron] Johnson was going to win reelection or President Trump was going to win Wisconsin if we didn’t have voter ID to keep Wisconsin’s elections clean and honest and have integrity?”

The law, which went into effect in 2016, required specific forms of government-issued photo identification to vote. In a cover story last year, Mother Jones reported that the law kept tens of thousands of eligible voters from the polls and likely tipped the state to Trump. A federal court found in 2014 that 9 percent of registered voters in Wisconsin did not possess the identification necessary to vote. In a University of Wisconsin study published in September 2017, 1 in 10 registered voters in Milwaukee County and Madison’s Dane County who did not cast a ballot in 2016 cited the voter ID law as a reason why. That meant that up to 23,000 voters in the two heavily Democratic counties—and as many as 45,000 voters statewide—didn’t vote because of the voter ID law. Trump won the state by 22,000 votes.

African Americans, who favored Hillary Clinton over Trump by an 88-to-8 margin, were three times as likely as whites to say they were deterred from voting by the law.

Indeed, turnout fell most sharply in black neighborhoods of Milwaukee that heavily supported Clinton. Nearly 41,000 fewer people in the city—where Clinton received 77 percent of the vote to Trump’s 18—voted in 2016 than in 2012.

And yet they had no problems with ID's where one is required to vote........imagine that.....

seems to be a fail for those 'liberal' statistics....

I'm sure all sides do claim such a thing.

but the proof is in the pudding. The left fears their elect-ability would suffer when we prevent the losers in society from voting.

And yes, they are losers. If you are so pathetic that id is a barrier, you are a loser.

I think the parallel he was searching for would be a constitutional right to NOT bear arms or a photo ID......

So you're okay with them standing outside a voting station armed with weapons?

So, 45,000 people couldn't get an ID even when they had a year to do it? If people can't tackle that simple task, it's best that they didn't vote. People need to be able to simply identify themselves when engaging in any governmental activity whether it's voting, driving or obtaining government benefits.

And, if you notice, it did not say the people didn't qualify or couldn't get an ID, only that they did not have one or "cited" it as a reason for not voting.

"A federal court found in 2014 that 9 percent of registered voters in Wisconsin did not possess the identification necessary to vote. In a University of Wisconsin study published in September 2017, 1 in 10 registered voters in Milwaukee County and Madison’s Dane County who did not cast a ballot in 2016 cited the voter ID law as a reason why."

So, it had nothing to do with being "harder" for young people and minorities but because they did not get one. It is hardest for the elderly and they vote mostly Republican. If these laws were designed to suppress Democratic voters they were shooting themselves in the foot to suppress older voters.
