If they exist, can we just get them photo IDs at no cost to them? Would that be acceptable?

They do exist, as they have testified in court, many times.

It’s not only photo IDs but also underlying proof of identity, such as a birth certificate.

And states have even set up mobile, neighborhood units to help get them IDs.

But you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. In some (many?) cases, the state would have to do the legwork to get the ID and documents, and literally place them in their hands.

Yet what if they don’t want an ID but still want to vote?

I think “lack the opportunity” for blacks to get an ID is pretty strong. I missed that. There are plenty of opportunities.

Do you really believe that, Hank?
I think that some people are so very poor that they lack certain opportunities. Statistically, Blacks are disproportionately represented in that demographic. That is not any sort of moral judgement OR an apologetic. It is simply a fact of life.

It is entertaining that so many posters are reading it as something that it is not. Very defensive.

I believe the point was that they could not do ANY of the listed activities -- not most. It may be that of that tiny few who cannot do ANY of those activities, blacks are disproportionally represented, but it is a tiny, tiny few and a problem that could be solved very simply -- let the local party officials or non-political volunteers take them to the courthouse so they can get a free ID. Instead of solving a very minor problem, the left chooses instead to inflate it and politicize it.

All of you seem to be assuming that I oppose ID requirements for voting. I do not, and I think that most people who do NOT have an ID COULD do so.

I simply think the OP is disingenuous, because it does not address the ACTUAL Dem assertions.

That’s like saying you want to work but don’t want to pay taxes. Tough shite.

Think about that shite. A major political party had a massive campaign that painted a group of people, based on skintone, as barely functioning retards.. and it was praised by most media, most universities, all of Hollywood.

They even paid for and trotted out black Democrat voters who praised the Democrats and agreed with the assertion of black people being too dumb to get voter ids.

That kind of campaign happened....and somehow, the gop were portrayed as the racists.

No way you can sell that in 2021 , in that period of time, an American citizen of voting age cannot get ID if he cares to.
Where did I say anything of the sort?

It is hilarious watching you people jump to conclusions.

Good Lord, you are clearly bright enough to understand that the proposition is NOT that NO Blacks can obtain a government ID, but rather that a larger percentage of Blacks than Whites lack the opportunity to do so.

why is it ok for leftists to act like black people are retarded. Never understand why that’s so accepted

It’s a proportional thing, not pure numbers.

That’s like saying there are more whites on welfare, as pure numbers.

Minority voters disproportionately lack ID. Nationally, up to 25% of African-American citizens of voting age lack government-issued photo ID, compared to only 8% of whites.

I remember after a hurricane or could have been the flood, I went on my lunch hour to get my drivers license renewed at the quickie place on Perkins. The line was at least 50 deep. I found out later that anyone that applied for the $1,000 stimulus card needed an ID. They sure found a way that day to get one!

They would find a way to get an ID for a covid shot also.
It’s all about priorities.

Poor people in urban areas have far more access to resources and services than poor people in rural areas. Your argument is nonsensical.
