Or alternatively everyone should be able to vote, otherwise the government is an illegitimate joke, and we have the receipts from Republican groups intentionally trying to block targeted groups using voter ID and changing other voting conditions (polling places, early election days, etc). Insomuch as it will increase the number of Democratic voters those voters are entirely up for grabs if Republicans want to court them.
If the US wants to remain an actual representative democracy/republic [0] we have to treat attempts at keeping voters out of the polls as the threat they are. These voter ID law pushes never come with a commensurate program to find, ID, and register groups without IDs and I think that gives the game away even before the emails came out explicitly saying these were targeted attacks at legitimate voters.
