      “Most states” lol

      It’s half funny and half fucked that you took the bait and repeated all the right wing talking points

        My dude I’m not American and very much on the left of the political spectrum (more left than you can vote in the US). I just think you are a large part of the problem with voter suppression. Instead of helping people, you’re scaring them into passivity.

          I’m in a US state that is known for actively suppressing black populations from voting in all sorts of ways, including the bogus voter ID laws. I’ll say it again, there was never a problem of voter fraud before voter ID laws, so they are a made up solution for a non-issue, designed to discourage minorities. You replied to me elsewhere “Just get an ID.” If things were that simple, then this tactic wouldn’t work and there wouldn’t be laws in place to try and control voting.

          The voter suppression is coming from the same ones who are selling the fix.
