Voter ID laws don't reduce voter turnout.
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

“Minority’s (except
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.SFGbob said:Asians are just the white man's proxy in our war to maintain our white privilege.
