I almost am loathe to mention it, but if you cannot acquire government identification, you probably should not be voting in the first place. Identification is not that hard to gain or utilize and is more or less mandatory to function regularly in life. If one cannot be bothered to ensure they have one, then I would be surprised they have the will at all to see themselves to the voting booth. As a whole that argument is very unreliable and is, beyond a doubt, more a threat than a benefit to the populace; I would rather have a [i]potentially[/i] smaller voter turn out with less fraud than I would with a larger voter turn out with potentially [i]more[/i] fraud, [@Penny].

On another note, it is not clear that the modern Republicans are responsible for the Jim Crow legacy, but I will leave [@mdk] to that and the rest of their conversation.
