No way.
The motivation IS the point.
All you people (Robbie, Mutt, Grapesoda, L-Pink, sperbonzo) are calling out the democrats on this issue and you are all correct that they ARE using race when race is not an issue.
But you do not call out the republicans for their motivation. Pretending to care about electoral reform when really it's to gain an advantage. By taking the issue of voter ID and defending it like you all are you are supporting a political position that is opportunist. It is not consistent. Because of that you are not about fairness and consistency but rather - "This is logical right now (voter id) and so let's pay attention to it right now because it gives us an advantage right now and if it comes up in the future and is not advantageous to us then we'll ignore it. If it happened in the past and wasn't advantageous to us we'll forget it.)
That is not about what is right but about what is good for the republicans and you are helping to push their agenda by arguing this and bashing one side only.
