If it's not a big deal, then why does the right actively try to make getting valid photo ID more difficult? Things like closing all the DMV branches in poorer areas, or allowing them to be open just a few hours every couple weeks, etc.
The right makes this a big issue, not the left. If the right didn't try so hard to suppress people's ability to get ID, then I'd be tempted to think requiring ID for voting wasn't a bad idea.
- giantg2 7y agoI never said it was the right or the left making anything a big deal. I think many government agencies have inconvenient hours (sheriff's office, marriage license, etc). In my experience the DMV has better hours than most. I'd be interested in your examples of the right making ID harder to get. So they shut down the DMV in the poorest area. Where's the next closest one? As you can see in my other comments, I'm not a fan of political game playing. But using that as an defense against the underlying principle of validating voter identity is not a valid argument.
