Yeah, I agree with you on the voter ids.

I'm just saying if more voters benefited Republicans instead of Democrats, it would be the Democrats pushing for voter ids and Republicans pushing back.

I'm not sure what the 'best' system looks like, but it's somewhere between what the dems want and what the republicans want.  Oh, and (eventually) it involves some sort of block chain.  No paper ballots.


I mean, maybe. I'm not sure I'm onboard the thought process of that the only reason that Republicans are pushing for these policies is because it will (probably) benefit them when election time comes around. The same thought process shows that Democrats are not going to support these because it (potentially) hurts them when it comes to their voters coming out and voting.

It's all about politics and power, but at a certain point some politicians do truly have some ideals that they think will help to protect the integrity of the voting process -- which is where ID's being used during voter comes up. Yet again I want to stress that if a state wants to do that, they should be providing the ID free of charge or they're going to be WILLINGLY putting undue burden onto those in the lower class.
