"In some cases, judges argued the cases would not affect enough ballots to change the outcome of the election or were filed too late and should have been lodged before the election."

“Foreign invaders.” Ah.

These people imagine themselves as warriors engaged in valorous battle, when they’re just doing dull-witted racism.

Voter ID Laws reduce turnout among minority voters. Several studies, including a 2014 Government Accountability Office (GAO) study, have found that #PhotoID laws have a particularly depressive effect on turnout among racial minorities & other vulnerable groups.

And until recently, WI permitted active-duty military ID cards, but prohibited VA ID cards for voting. Voter ID Laws are enforced in a discriminatory manner. A Caltech/MIT study found minority voters are more frequently questioned about ID than White voters.

7/9

States exclude forms of ID in a discriminatory manner. For example, TX allows concealed weapons permits for voting, but not student ID cards. Before NC’s #VoterID Law was struck down, it banned public assistance & state employee ID cards, disproportionately held by Black American voters.

6/9

In TX, some ppl in rural areas travel up to 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office.
Facts: Voter #IDLaws are discriminatory. Minority voters disproportionately lack ID. Nationally, up to 25% of Black American citizens of voting age lack gov-issued #PhotoID, compared to only 8% of Whites.

5/9

The combined cost of document fees, travel expenses & waiting time are estimated to range from $75 - $175. Travel required to get documents & #PhotoID cards is often a major burden on people w/ disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas w/out access to a car or public transportation.

4/9

These voters are disproportionately low-income, racial & ethnic minorities, elderly & people w/ disabilities because obtaining #PhotoID costs money. Even if identification is offered for free, essential documents required to obtain ID represent a significant expense for lower-income Americans.

3/9

Facts: Strict photo ID laws, under which voters must present ONE of a limited set of forms of gov-issued #PhotoID in order to vote – no exceptions. This is a problem because more than 21 million Americans DO NOT have 1 of the forms of identification states deemed acceptable for voting.
