Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Voter ID laws don't reduce voter turnout.

Congratulations Rats, you not only lied but you insulted the intelligence of your most loyal voting block. Speaks volumes about how they really think about black folks.

Strict voter ID laws do not suppress turnout, a new paper finds, regardless of sex, race, Hispanic identity, or party affiliation.

    Neato.

    Also from the executive summary of the paper:

    ID requirements have no effect on fraud either – actual or perceived.


    So voter ID laws don't discriminate, nor do they stop voter fraud.

    Why are we even having this discussion?

    Because some politicians make a big deal about voter fraud, even though everything I've read/heard is that voter fraud is basically non-existent.

    What we should really be spending time on is how to increase voter turnout. It's piss poor in the US. People are disenfranchised from the system. Sad!

    I think we should make it as hard as possible to vote to eliminate the stupid and lazy. if they made it tougher I would not waste my vote on 3rd or 4th party votes

    If you live in Washington, your vote went to Hillary or spotted owl.

    Asians and
    Jews) are too dumb, poor and lazy to get ID” - The left.

    Asians are just the white man's proxy in our war to maintain our white privilege.


    The throw a monkey wrench in all the claims of racism so the left just ignores them or makes them honorary whites.

    The paper does note that one possible explanation for this effect is, paradoxically, that voter ID laws might goose turnout among certain marginalized groups. This, the authors argue, is because a perceived "attack" on a right (e.g., the right to vote) can mobilize voters who would otherwise fail to turn out.
