There are three main reasons.
1. There doesn't seem to be much voter fraud of the sort an ID is designed to prevent. Millions upon millions of votes over years and less than a hundred actual, intentional cases. Hennepin County in Minnesota calculated the cost at over 1.4 million dollars to provide IDs for Minneapolis, and they hadn't a single case of voter fraud in over a decade.
2. Voter ID laws would prevent thousands of people from voting--mostly elderly and minorities.

3. Voter ID laws appear to be motivated by racism and partisan ends; they target Democrat constituencies like the elderly and minorities.

So "leftists" oppose voter id laws because they are aimed at a non-problem, unnecessarily harass and prevent thousands from voting, and are intended to reduce Democrat turnout.
LOL. I'm sorry dude, but if you really buy into the crap in those articles, I feel sorry for you. Here's the deal. If someone really wants to vote, they can get ID just the same as they get anything else. These articles are basically opinions from weak-minded guilty-white-liberal types who "assume" that minorities are too helpless to get themselves a freaking ID, which is a very racist assumption in itself if you ask me. These people are actually a lot more capable than their self-proclaimed-intelligent, guilty-white-liberal, social-justice-warrior, weakling liberal minded democrat pals think they are. But thats pretty much what you guys always do, is assume blacks and hispanics, etc, cant do anything for themselves. It's racist and it's a stupid assumption and the numbers in those pathetic articles are nothing more than an extremely biased guess made by people who have a vested interest in NOT having voter ID laws.
Lets be real here, democrats know that without illegal voters, they would not win very often or ever, and voter ID would cut out a lot of illegal votes. Everybody with 1/4 of a brain knows this --its been this way for years and its funny to see the left's ultra-predictable reactions (like yours) when asked about it (which I often do on purpose just to laugh at the predictable reaction). You cheeseheads are still trying to hide the real reason you are against voterID, and its not fooling anyone on the other side, or any non-biased outsiders. The only people you guys really fool are yourselves. If you lie enough eventually you'll really believe it. That should be the motto of the left.
