My sister moved home from Venezuela eight years ago.

She could NOT believe people were voting her without ID. They had to ink their fingers to show they already voted.

I absolutely think you need an ID to vote but Venezuela is a poor example of election integrity lol

Fwiw, a person, white or black, does not have to provide a government issued photo ID to receive food assistance benefits.

You are wrong. This is a federal program that is administered by the states. Go read Florida POE Manual for SNAP.

You do not have to provide a government issued photo ID to receive food assistance.

There are numerous ways the allow you to prove your ID, many of which do not include a photo ID or information that comes from the government. This includes the fact that ID can be proven by what’s known as a “collateral contact”, ie another person vouching that you are who you say that you are.

No, that’s ridiculous. Vote with ID. Those video people are really ignorant to think so lowly of black people. I’d be offended. My point was if someone can’t figure out how to get an ID or are too much of a criminal to get one, they shouldn’t vote. That actually applies to anyone.

You fricking idiot. This is literally the 2nd sentence in the "study" you cited....

Although there are lots of reasons to suspect that these laws could harm groups like racial minorities and the poor, existing studies have generally failed to demonstrate a link between voter ID laws and voter turnout among these groups.
