I am "left" on a bunch of issues, but the Voter ID thing, to me, seems an unfounded complaint by Dems:

You need ID for MANY basic things in adult life...I will not list them all here, but they are all googleable...

Even red states have MULTIPLE orginizations (both Gov't and private non-profits) who focus intently on helping older minority voters -- who don't have a driver's liscense --procure identification.

Even without a driver's license, in many states other options will suffice...utility bill, bank statement, ss card, birth cert, etc...

"18 states ask for a photo ID and 17 states also accept non-photo IDs."

Regarding this particular article and the gerrymandering - I will get to that later.

I just see so many complaints of voter supression that, to me, seem exaggerated at best, unfounded at worst. Adults in society need ID, unless you're off the grid in the woods.
