Critics argue that voter fraud rarely exists and that ID requirements are intended to suppress turnout by economically disadvantaged voters.

Although voter fraud prevention is necessary, I have to argue that the stages of voter identification are too complex. Many minorities that could otherwise vote do not have access to the identification necessary. So either make ID easily accessible to everyone or simplify the voter ID process.
@8F5PKLS5yrs5Y
Yes, but first give everyone a free photo ID when they turn eighteen and automatically register everyone to vote.
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, but before making it a requirement the government would first have to implement and distribute relevant federal IDs in such a way that enables poor or minority voters rather than disadvantages them.
@8FPLGKD5yrs5Y
Yes, and the government should issue a photo ID to any citizen applicant.
@8HM8ZSN4yrs4Y
yes, and have government pay for ID when necessary
@8JXC6F84yrs4Y
Only to prove you are a citizen
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
Yes, provide IDs to those who can't afford it
@8SGV53Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but make it so that Photo IDs are easier for the disadvantaged to get.
@brywharris4yrs4Y
Only if they are given a free Voting ID and are automatically registered to vote upon turning 18.
@WolferusYT4yrs4Y
Yes, but give a universal and free voter ID that all citizens can obtain.
