The restrictions to (southern) states under the Voting Rights Act has roots going back to slave days.

I didn't see anything there prohibiting ID cards ... especially if that ID is demanded of ALL voters

They can't use the "device" word.

Exactly. When the slaves got the vote, they were forced to vote Democrat. They do so today out of habit and fear. That cycle has to be broken. Their families voted Democrat, so they vote Democrat. I think what is happening today is that they are learning that this admin lied to them and they don’t like it.
