Our system works on the principle of preventing the "wrong" people from voting. And "wrong" here means poor and Black people who often have difficulty producing the required documentation and paying the fees for same.
How are all these hapless poor people buying their cigs, lotto tickets, and booze without a form of ID anyway?
How might you use voter ID laws to prevent people from voting? Well the most common form of ID in the US is the driver's license, so you may divert resources from the department of motor vehicles in areas with minorities. For example, Alabama started enforcing photo ID in 2014 and then shut down 31 licensing offices in 2015, disproportionately affecting black counties.
Additionally, voter fraud is rare in the US, it is a federal crime and the risk-reward on committing voter fraud makes it rare for anyone to actually commit it. Between 2000 - 2014 there were only 31 credible cases according to the Brennan Center (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/reso...).
Does it make sense to disenfranchise thousands to millions in order to stop 2 people from committing voter fraud per year? Obviously not
Which makes a lot more sense than the submission title (in fairness, the original is too long) but it could have been made to fit without losing that key word at the end.
