I’m sorry but “voter suppression” isn’t a thing, especially when something as logical and simple as “have ID to prove you have the right to vote” is constantly called “voter suppression”.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

that absolutely is voter suppression… voter fraud is not a real problem. if it were, sure! let’s do ID… but the fact is, it just doesn’t happen: the only way to actually move the needle is large scale voter fraud, and the systems in place absolutely catch that… a single vote (as much as we say your vote counts: it does, but more figuratively) doesn’t matter 1 bit

If voter fraud isn’t a real problem then you should have no issue making sure it can’t happen.

i have no issue making sure it “can’t happen” - a non-issue regardless - to give people warm and fuzzy feelings

i do take issue with making it harder to vote for some of societies most vulnerable

The whole “vulnerable people” line is complete bullshit lol.
