Quote:No, my question was specifically how voter ID laws stop the only kind of voter fraud that anyone has been able to demonstrate exists, the kind that happens in the system itself, not the kind that happens when someone supposedly shows up and claims to be someone they're not. (something that demonstrably is not an issue at all from a statistical standpoint)

 

If someone can stuff the box with fake ballots, or mysteriously misplace a bunch of ballots from a left-leaning district then how does making sure gun owners have an easier time voting than college students actually help the real problem?

 

The actual answer is that it doesn't help, and that voter ID laws are actually just another mechanism of the right to try to repress the reality that the country as a whole actually wants to move away from the extreme right.
