Doesn't matter if you think it should not suppress the vote. That fact is that it is a hurdle that does suppress the vote for the poor and minorities (because there are more poor minorities). And there is no proof that it does anything to suppress voter fraud.
Even if it only effects 1% that can be the difference in the election. Republicans have publicly admitted that voter ID laws help them win elections. It is not about fraud because fraud could be committed equally by EITHER party. In fact the last big major voter fraud scandal was by the Republican in North Carolina.
So why would Republicans be so concerned about voter fraud when they love to use voter fraud to win elections? The answer is that they aren't concerned about voter fraud at all. All they care about is suppressing the vote of the poor and minorities who are more likely to vote for Democrats.
Right now the Republican President is telling his base to commit voter fraud. So how can the Republicans claim they are worried about voter fraud?
