It is easier to vote in any U.S. state than to rent a hotel room in any U.S. jurisdiction. I don’t want to hear the vote suppression whine.
How is your blog "News"?
What caused you to excerpt it?
Do you need a job?
The BBC was pretending that American election reform laws requiring IDs etc are “racist” and “extremist”.
guess mlb won’t be playing the all-star game in those countries either!
Those racist Europeans!/s
bkmk
The only reason to oppose it is if you intend to cheat.
Don’t try to inject logic into this situation, racist.
But none of them let African-Americans vote.
So they are practicing voter suppression on steroids.

Let’s argue for copying the election system from some country the Left always mentions as superior.
Sweden, Norway, Canada, Germany, etc.
Yeah, those countries don’t have lying crooked democrats.
Australia has had compulsory voting for the past 100 years or so and there is no requirement to show ID.
Voter fraud isn’t a hot button issue here as with over 90% of the eligible voters voting in every election it makes cheating more difficult. Plus voting is all paper based (no voting machines) and voting day is always on a Saturday (as opposed to a Tuesday in the US). Also there is the allure of the ‘Democracy sausage’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage).
That said, with elections occasionally coming down to a handful of votes in a handful of seats, the idea of voter ID comes up with similar divides (conservatives for, leftists against) and similar arguments for and against.
