I conditionally believed that voder ID laws were voter supression until the party flip now I do see both sides of the argument.
Like those busses of elderly folks who didn't have ID's that looked so happy going out and casting their votes. That's important to maintain.
But there is a very valid argument that the vast majority of "it's racist" claims are nuanced and that saying black people cant get or dont have ID's is pretty racist too.
Who doesn't have ID's? Specifically? If you lined them up, would you agree that maybe they should be getting more help than just you saying they should vote?
Are they even voting? Is it a false argument?
Should we help these people get ID's instead of letting them be a statistic without them?
Think about those elderly being driven to vote, someone had to go out of their way to round them up and get them out to vote, how is that person taking an extra step to get them ID's any more of a barrier than renting a truck?
I just dont think that I conditionally believe either side anymore, and that both have valid points.
It's just not unreasonable to think voter ID is totally cool and normal idea. There definitely is a way to make all parties happy with this one.
