I think the interesting part i noted reading my ballot was that mail in ballots would require a photocopy of your id, which i took to mean that if the election worker saw your mail in ballot, saw your photo id, determined you were black/hispanic/a woman, and thus can decide to throw away your ballot.

Im not mailing my photo id.

I dont think it would change anything for in person votes, though

Edit to add: also, not everyone has a printer, so mail in ballots would be more difficult to cast

The bigger issue is that voter ID laws have been ruled unconstitutional. It is a simple argument: the 14th Amendment requires that the goverment cannot put any “undue burden” on the right to vote; since voter ID only prevents in-person voter fraud (which is proven to be virtually nonexistent) then any cost or burden to voter ID restrictions are weighed against absolutely zero benefit.

You cannot require U.S. citizens to jump through any additional hoops when the benefit to do so is measurably zero. Voter ID laws are as constitutional as requiring everybody to have a fresh haircut in order to vote.

Every attempt to make voting harder is an attempt to restrict and subvert the vote. The claim is securing elections, but raising ID requirements addresses a problem that doesn't exist on a scale that can make a difference, it only disenfranchises the poor who may not have or be able to obtain a special new ID.

If voting ID is required then they need to be free, easily obtainable, and voting days need to be declared, paid holidays.

they're riding the magat train to enshrine motor-voter into the constitution which is harder to change or repeal than a simple legislated state law.. which could also violate some other part of the constitution if it wasn't in it itself.
