The opposite is if you don't have an ID you CAN vote even if your actual "qualifications" aren't those required to "allow" you to vote. Same as any criminal activity CAN be done by circumventing rules that would legally prevent such activity. States can require you to be who you say you are, and they can ask for verification. They can do so in order to protect the integrity of the voting system and to secure the rights of those who are legally qualified to vote. If you personally choose to acribe other motivations to those requirements, that's up to you, but you have no proof, just your conjecture, about the motivations.

So explain why the Repubs do everything they can to prevent people from voting (limit the amount of time you can vote early, require IDsl, etc). Sad commentary on a political party.

"everything they can" would be far more than just a time period for early voting and requiring IDs. I don't know what the etc. is. Time periods don't seem unfair or unduly limiting, certainly not a prevention, nor do IDs. Why do you paint reasonable requirements as preventing people from voting? Why do you see protecting the right to vote from being disenfranchised by illegal votes as a prevention against voting. Isn't it more a protection of votes by those qualified to vote. Protection of the franchise is not a commentary. Your opinion is the commentary. And it does seem to be a sad one.

Is the Repub. party so afraid of blacks that 4 years later they're still crying about the actions of 2 of them

You call whatever you're referring to as crying. Actions to correct fraud is not crying.
