I partially disagree with this.

I haven't voted in a polling location in over fifteen years, and I never will again. There is no need to. I live in California, and I vote by mail. It's great. They send it right to my house, I vote when I feel like it, and slip it into the mail. Super easy.

I do agree that people who vote in person should be required to show some form of ID.

However, it seems to me that Republicans are creating laws to intentionally prevent certain demographics from voting (and voting against them). One example of this was a college in Texas that was mostly African American. The school was large enough so that votes from the students would sway an election and cause Republicans to lose elections. The Republican party did everything to prevent them from voting, including moving voter registration dates so students would not be in school at the time and then giving the students incorrect voting locations. When you intentionally try to prevent someone from voting it should be a crime and should be investigated.

The Republican party is going all out to fix elections. They are trying to deny people the right to vote, and changing borders to benefit them in elections.

The intention of the Republican party requiring people to have IDs is to deny people the right to vote (and thus the right to vote against Republicans). If Republicans want to do this they need to do it right - pass a law that requires people to have an ID in 2024 and then identify everyone who has voted recently but doesn't have valid ID and give them an easy way to get valid ID.
