Why are some people okay with disenfranchisement?
There is no evidence that illegal immigrants commit voter fraud en masse. Voter ID bills aren't legitimate attempts to keep illegal immigrants from the polls - but they will keep legal voters, including minorities and the impoverished, from exercising their constitutional right. It's true that minorities and the poor are assumed to lean Democratic, but it saddens me that that has become the central importance of this issue - people are being denied their legal right to vote! Why are some people not bothered by that?
