We agree that actively reducing voting stations in ways that disproportionately impact the poor is problematic.
But it's hard for me to believe that voter ID laws inherently target the poor more so than ID laws governing the sale of alcohol and/or tobacco (or cough syrup or spray paint or guns or...). I find it relatively obscene that I'll get carded at the bar but cast my vote for President by giving a volunteer my name.
I don't know for certain that fraud is happening (or at least that it's happening in sufficient numbers), but I find it disingenuous to propose _that it can't be happening_.
What is the appropriate trade off between potential for fraud and disenfranchisement is an interesting question. One I wish both sides were willing to talk about without rancor.
