You're big on "Intent" and we both know what the intent of these numerous laws are - to make it more difficult for people to vote. That is as sleazy as it gets.
there’s some fraud. why not address it? isn’t less fraud always better than more fraud?

i’m big on intent. like people who oppose drug tests, it’s hard for
me to not be suspicious of those who oppose something as obvious as requiring IDs. both sides are trying to gain arvantage. i don’t buy that requiring IDs meaningfully suppresses the vote. there are too many every day things we need id for, to convince me that huge numbers of people
don’t have them.

you chose not to answer the questions i asked. how effective is it to look at signatures on absentee ballots? how many people are really trained to analyze signatures.

and if ID requirements are racist, why does my Ct suburb require them? i assume
that’s a state law, not a town thing? they will not let me vote without showing ID.
