But how is that less biased? That will still be biased one way or another (eg. more college students than gun licensees, or whatever) so regardless of whether they allow all of them or none of them or an arbitrary subset of them, it will still be biased and I don't think there's any objective set of acceptable IDs that isn't biased.
- bena 5y agoStop and think about this for a second. College students are residents. The policies of the local government affect them. Regardless of who they'd vote for, they deserve a say. If concealed carry licenses are accepted, student IDs should be as well. That's what he's saying.

- tzs 5y agoIf a sufficient range of state IDs are accepted that everyone who is eligible to vote can freely and easily get one, then it is not biased by definition.
- exporectomy 5y agoSure, but there is no such range of IDs in America, is there? It seems like a choice from a set of various not-easily-and freely-obtainable-to-everyone IDs.
- loeg 5y agoAre you asserting that it is biased for the successfully-IDed voters to reflect the demographics of the underlying voter population? I don't think that makes sense.
