Are you for real?  The entire point of this sidebar was that Voter ID laws were racist. There's no debate here if you thought otherwise.  I mean, WOW, how is it not bannable to be called on your bullshit and then pretend you were adamantly against what you clearly believed?!?

And I'm not going to waste my time trying to defend anything already confirmed by the courts and the electorate.

1. Just say "No! I CANNOT name TWO specific federal or state policies deemed "racist" by the Democratic media. I don't really have any factual/independent evidence to support my contentions here. But I am going to continue referring to 'actual data' without linking to any, and to 'common sense,' which is my name for 'unsupported opinion.'"

2. ??? What am I now "adamantly against" that I clearly believed before?

3. LOL You're happy to waste everyone's time throwing out unsupported claims, but won't waste your own time defending them with links or the "actual data" to which you demand others pay attention.

4. By the way, here is an example of what has been "confirmed by the courts."

After enbanc review of the record in this case, the Fifth Circuit majority held that there was sufficient evidence to sustain a conclusion that the Texas voter photo identification bill, SB 14,1was passed with a discriminatory purpose, despite its proponents’ assertions that it was necessary to combat voter fraud.

5. And here is an example of "actual data":

Abstract: The proliferation of increasingly strict voter identification laws around the country has raised concerns about voter suppression. Although there are many reasons to suspect that these laws could harm groups like racial minorities and the poor, existing studies have been limited, with most occurring before states enacted strict identification requirements, and they have uncovered few effects. By using validated voting data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study for several recent elections, we are able to offer a more definitive testThe analysis shows that strict identification laws have a differentially negative impact on the turnout of racial and ethnic minorities in primaries and general elections. We also find that voter ID laws skew democracy toward those on the political right.
