The latest studies (eg: http://stanford.edu/~jgrimmer/comment_final.pdf) show that Voter ID laws have basically no impact on minority turnout and specifically debunk the previous studies that were presented with ignorant glee. The smallest hint of issue was found in Hispanic communities, and none in black communities.

Just because some racists want voter ID does not mean that they are inherently racist policies. Nazi's want universal health care (that's part of why they want an ethnostate - it's easier to supply common services) - are you going to be against centralized health care for those reasons then too?

Rather than fighting against voter ID laws, which really makes it seem like you're supporting voter fraud, why not actually fight to then make sure everyone has the tools (ID) to vote with such a paradigm?

That's literally how it is in Canada. Show ID or have someone else vouch for you.
