Don't confuse racism with common sense. Unless you are just fucking trolling again.

Take it easy... jesus fucking christ. Don't you find it interesting that black, brown and young people tend to vote democratic, and the GOP wants to make it harder for them to vote, claiming voter fraud when there is hardly any? For the conspiracy-minded types at GFY this should be a no brainer.

That's the thing Robbie, many minorities are not able to get the ID required, and some of the ID's that minorities do have are rejected for wrong reasons.
To give you an admittedly far-out example, here in Quebec a few years ago there was a general election, and there was reports of voter intimidation at the voting stations, where some people were now allowed to vote because they wore poppies on their coats. A Poppy is a symbol of remembrance of war veterans here in Canada, and nothing at all political. However, the right to vote was denied by these people anyway, and the reason was stupid - the same way it is stupid to deny voting rights to anyone because their ID isn't deemed good enough in the US.
