Source?
The fact is you need ID for SNAP and Medicaid benefits.
So who are all these people with no ID, no money, no food, no identity, no anything but somehow all eligible voters?
- jakelazaroff 1y agoWhy do you assume the people targeted must have no money, or use SNAP or Medicaid?

There are dozens of examples of Republican states attempting to disenfranchise minority voters. Not sure why you’re bringing up money, food, or identity here. But as a simple example: picture an average middle class New Yorker. They do not drive. They don’t travel internationally. Why would they need to go get an ID? (I lived in NY for about 11 years, and went a long chunk of that without bothering to get an ID. Only did eventually so that I could rent a car) I wish you’d recognize that the “problem” you’re suggesting needs solving was invented by political actors with the sole intent of increasing their odds of winning elections. There’s no other real problem they’re trying to solve.
