In more important news, Jeff Sessions doesn’t like poor and/or minority voters. Big shocker there.

I don’t get the argument at all that somehow minorities aren’t capable of getting an ID. It’s not unreasonable to need an ID to vote.
Just do a few seconds of Googling and you’ll find tons of evidence speaking to how this disenfranchises minorities and the poor (and the elderly). I assume you’ll just dismiss it, but it’s real.
I know, I’ve seen all that, but I still am not convinced that it’s a horrible obstacle to voting. It is more difficult to get a license if you were born before the Great Depression or in a completely rural area, but it’s still doable and you have years to do it because we all know exactly when the elections will be. The worse problem is election day not being on a Sunday and not treated as a holiday, but even that is remedied somewhat by early voting in states where that’s applicable.
