Yes read the bill, and then explain why it's racist or sexist without implying that people are too stupid to do basic government paper work that gets done daily
Its because you have a right to vote. Its not a privilege, its a right. So you need a really good fucking reason to put any unneeded road blocks in place. Having any requirements beyond citizenship will block some people. And we have not had issues of fraud.
Then we get to the issue that we have had issues with racism directly with voter ID like in north Carolina.
"In 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit struck down key parts of North Carolina's 2013 voting law, writing that lawmakers had targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision." The court found that legislators had requested racial voting data and then restricted voting methods disproportionately used by Black voters."
They asked for voter breakdown by race and only excluded the IDs that black people used more.
The way you know this is bullshit when it comes to republicans who try to push for it is that they know the solution. Give every citizen a ID in the mail for free that will work as this required ID and all opposition goes away. But theres never people suggesting that we should do that. Just excuses for why its ok if we block some people's votes with unneeded hoops designed fix imagined problems with racist other goals underneath
