Voter id laws target demographics in a discriminatory manner

In texas, an nra membership card is ID, but a student ID card isnt. that alone should show you an agenda tilting the chances of republicans voting and suppressing more than likely democrat voting demographics. Elderly people also have a harder time getting identification and guess which party their demographic favors. its democrats. minorities especially young generally have their student ID and non photographic ID cards which wont be eligible. for more on this, read this statement from washington post:
"Supporters say that everyone should easily be able to get a photo ID and that the requirement is needed to combat voter fraud. But many election experts say that the process for obtaining a photo ID can be far more difficult than it looks for hundreds of thousands of people across the country who do not have the required photo identification cards. Those most likely to be affected are elderly citizens, African Americans, Hispanics and low-income residents.

“A lot of people don’t realize what it takes to obtain an ID without the proper identification and papers,” said Abbie Kamin, a lawyer who has worked with the Campaign Legal Center to help Texans obtain the proper identification to vote. “Many people will give up and not even bother trying to vote.”

A federal court in Texas found that 608,470 registered voters don’t have the forms of identification that the state now requires for voting. For example, residents can vote with their concealed-carry handgun licenses but not their state-issued student university IDs"
how can you honestly say recent voter ID laws arent a form of suppression? Even california just asks that you can prove your age and residency in the state, no photos required.

Should be state issued photo ID or no vote everywhere.

why shouldnt school IDs or other forms of identification be accepted.

Why you need to complicate stuff that is easy to resolve? Just do like every nation in the world and create a federal ID card. When I vote nobody asks me to show my license drive or ID student lol that's fucking ridiculous! I'm required to show my real id card issued by the government. Nobody can clam discrimination because by law everybody needs to have an ID card.

Things that you can use instead of an ID

>copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate;
>copy of or original current utility bill;
>copy of or original bank statement;
>copy of or original government check;
>copy of or original paycheck; or
>copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).

That’s being generous really. There’s no excuse for not having a drivers license/ID anyways.

none of that besides the certified birth certificate is eligible since its not photo ID

>For example, residents can vote with their concealed-carry handgun licenses but not their state-issued student university IDs"
And that makes perfect sense. University IDs aren't exclusive to state residents like CCW cards are

California signs up people that aren't citizens to vote all the time. In fact, every time California issues a state drivers license to an illegal immigrant, they automatically register them to vote as well.

Because going to school somewhere does not establish residency. A state issued ID or drivers license does.
