> that a sizable portion of their voting base is too dumb to get an ID
Literally not a single soul on Earth has ever said this.
Rather, what they're saying, which is an indisputable fact is:
- getting an ID requires money and access to a DMV
- DMVs are segregated by race because of prior factors like districting and redlining.
- Black Americans are more likely to vote Democrat.
- Black Americans are more likely to be poor and therefore are less likely to have an ID.
- therefore, Democrats on average have less ID.
Again, this isn't an opinion, it's just factual based off of very simple logic and statistics.
You can literally go look up, right now, what percentage of Black Americans have ID versus white Americans.
Its not a talking point, it's just real. The US is complex and has hundreds of years of extreme racism under it's belt.
Newsflash - that means not everything is perfectly split by race or equality accessible.
> The solution, if this problem exists as they say, is to get everyone proper ID
Wow, you make it sounds so easy.
Why then is it that, despite decades peddling voted ID laws, the GOP absolutely refuses to even humor the idea of making ID more accessible?
Could it be that their intentions arent as pure as yours?
