The government already knows who’s a citizen or not. They check that before you vote, why add an additional layer to vote when government has that information. Use your brain
It deters people from voting, as some people fear having to show their id. As born out in multiple studies, of those which are deterred it’s predominantly black and Mexican heritage I forgot the split but its on google.
A lot of it is how difficult it can be to get the identification. For example, if you require a driver's license then close all but one DMV in a county, poor people, who are disproportionately people of color, won't be able to get the identification.
Well it is about race when 1. Republicans gerrymander districts that dilute the black vote. 2. Republicans all polling stations in rural black counties except for one. 3. Republicans introduce laws that ban all convicted felons from voting, even those who have served their full term and had good behavior. 4. Yes, voter ID IS racial voter suppression because people of color are less likely to have access to places where they can obtain ID. Again it gets back to the republicans not opening any dmv offices in certain counties, forcing black people to drive hundreds of miles just to get an ID. If you want voter ID, then you need to make it just as easy for Black and rural peoples to get one as white people. Otherwise it’s blatant racial suppression. Or how about this, you register to vote with your social security number, and nothing else.
@@lastbatrepublicans also close polling stations in any place black people live. If it’s in the city, they’ll close them except for one so that they have to wait long lines. If it’s rural, they’ll only open one far from where most people live, taking over 1-2 hrs just to drive and vote.

@@Basta11 which has nothing to do with race. African Americans are the least employed people in the country so this effects them less but used as an excuse that effects them more.
*_Start your own business. Then give yourself the 'day' off to go vote. LOL._* *If it's 'your own clock you're riding', I betcha voting only takes less than an hour, if that.*
Some time ago there was something put into place which said workers should be given time off to go to the poles. But, the powers-that-be in many states have done and are doing everything in its power to keep this from happening, another form of voter suppression. This is one of the reasons why many voting precincts remain open until 7 p.m. or so and counting votes goes into the night. The kinds of voter suppression we are seeing now just does not affect Blacks and other people of color, but it is affecting everyone. What happens to one will inevitably affect all. Votes are gold and people feel empowered with that gold when they can be a part of the democratic process. Everything is designed to discourage this fundamental right so a certain sector, white males, maintains power and control. Voter suppression has ramped up thanks to Justice John Roberts tampering with the Voting Rights Act with the removal of Article 5. His lame excuse for doing it was the nation had evolved and racism/prejudice no longer existed. Roberts is said to now regret such a move, because he sees the serious damage it has done.
Wait, you don't have to present ID in order to vote in the US? I live in a mid income country and that would be considered insane here. But beyond that, even if somehow someone would find ID unfair, why would it affect people differently by their skin color?
There is video evidence of some Republicans saying that voter ID laws help them win. A lot of poor people may not have the resources or the free time to go out and get a drivers license from their DMV. This disproportionately affects minorities, who tend to lean democrat. So less Democratic Party votes through no fault other than them not having a government issued ID, means an advantage for the Republican Party, who put these laws into place to give themselves an advantage.
They said the same about voter competency tests. But we all know the truth. It was not equally enforced and its not equally easy for everyone to get an id or pass those tests (they would just fail black people.. or not give them to white ppl. If you look at the actual tests, no one could pass, they were nonsensical)
I’m a black man in my 30’s and I have no issues with requiring ID and my vote has always counted, and I’ve never had an issue voting stop finding things to complain about and work to improve your own life and stop having a losers mentality and you can do literally anything you want
Congratulations @yaboyJ64 . However, your singular experience does not represent all black people. If you're open to new information: There are many, many black people in the U.S. who don't have the kind of job where they can simply take time off of work to stand in line for 2, 3, maybe 8 hours in some places. Did you know this is a real thing in the U.S. today? And it's intentional. People who hold low-wage jobs in many parts of the country don't have the luxuries you apparently do, and low-wage jobs are largely held by black and brown people. Millions of them, whether you know or care about them or not. But frankly, you should know about them. Unless of course, you're perfectly happy with the completely ineffectual and in some cases corrupt cohort of politicians who hold office today.
@@allencraig02right I was just about to say this. He isn't too educated. No wonder they're saying bm are thee biggest white supremacists. How fast this dude got on here to discredit the history and facts.😂
Hey there, fellow innovator! I know the current economic situation can be challenging, but I want to remind you that this is just a temporary setback. History has shown us time and time again that every downturn is followed by an upswing, and this one will be no exception. The key is to stay focused, keep pushing forward, and remain optimistic about the future. As the great economist John Maynard Keynes once said, 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.' So keep on thinking outside the box and driving progress, because your vision and leadership are exactly what the world needs right now. And remember, as the famous entrepreneur and investor, Peter Drucker, once said, 'Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.' Keep making those courageous decisions, and the economic landscape will soon change for the better."
This is rediculous. Not getting the day off to go vote isn't a person of color thing. You presented nothing that made me think it's hard for some to vote based on race.
@@sidisura Well, good for you. But not every black person has the kind of job where they can simply take time off of work to stand in line for 2, 3, maybe 8 hours in some places.

@@allencraig02no one is standing in line for 8 hours to vote because of racism. Maybe people running the polls should be trained better. Not everything in life is about racism. If you wake up every day wanting to be a victim then you will see the world that way.
Being Black, I always wonder how other minority groups feel about us whining about simple things like this ... Personally, THIS IS BEYOND EMBARRASSING and honestly dishonest. It's as if these young black folks want to have their own fight against shit we already won. What a slap in the face to our ancestors would already win this fight for us
Uncle Robert, unless you or your family actually did something during the CRM, perhaps you shouldn't type stuff online. And, yes, this is a Boondocks reference.
GET OUT THE VOTE!! I'm an Old Fart, and I do believe that the ONLY way to keep this country on the path to freedom and fairness is for everyone - young and old - to get out and express their opinion by voting. Let's do it!
All of that and she didn't present one example where someone was not allowed to vote because they were black. All that bullshit and not one single victim of this horrible discrimination.
I don't disagree, not everyone has equal ability to vote, but from everything presented in this video, it sounds more like it's a question of economic class and circumstance than it is about race.
@@ropro9817there are multiple causal mechanisms mediating the relationship between race and socio economics in America, but our democracy guarantees a universal RIGHT to vote for adult citizens. Also im assuming you have read Thomas Sowell, but It does not follow that racial differences in the impact of voter “security”/“suppression” measures are mere coincidence of which groups have more 2 parent middle class households.
After thinking about this video, I had thought about what a famous quote "if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or for Trump then you ain't black" Joe Biden
28% of the House of Representatives and 12% of the Senate are not white, this is compared to over 40% of the US population. Also, "though many large cities have a majority-minority population, only about a third of large cities have Black mayors, and Latinx/Hispanic mayors are even less represented" So wtf are you talking about? Even IF you were right, that would not debunk systematic racism when it comes to voting.
And we should have a voting system where everyone exercises their right to vote no matter what color you are. But people like you like to make excuses as to who can vote and who can't and then you point the finger and blame those that are speaking up. Lord forbid should a black or minority person vote. That's a big sin, huh..
To ask for an ID to prove you have citizenship to vote is not racially based. The inability for blacks to vote was DEMs who had tests, poll taxes and KKK threats. Those have long been gone and free state voting IDs for all, is not long a hinderance in voting as you cant do anything without an ID in todays society. IDs preserve the integrity in the voting system.
I have voted since 1980 and have always been asked to show my ID. Even in Hawaii-where there isn't really a majority or minority race-up until a few elections ago where all voting is now done through the mail. And i have seen people who did not have a driver license, use their social security card (which was accepted as an ID and they voted). And never forget that your vote is not worth anything unless you stay on top of what you elected representative does in office. What they vote for, what they propose, and then you need to ask them why they proposed or voted for something you were against (they may have information you did not have) as well as thank them for votes where you agreed. Final thought, we need to spend more time monitoring the effects of laws that are passed as opposed to getting all upset (or excited) when a law passes, never bothering to see what came from the legislation. Often things that sound good end up doing harm when enacted-or end up costing billions more than we were told.
Okay, except for the fact that republicans in the same bill closed dmv offices, shortened their weekday hours to when most people are working, made new laws closing polling stations in black counties, and they draw districts that dilute the black vote. Luckily, in Alabama, Blacks are getting the second VRA district that they deserve.
Disruption of the U.S. mail to purposely make it unreliable for sending in/back absentee ballots is voter suppression; removing without notice community USPS mail boxes is voter suppression; limiting and/or removing all absentee ballot drop boxes is voter suppression; decreasing the time people are able to early vote is voter suppression; consolidating numerous community polling locations together, so people must travel further distances to vote, is voter suppression; consolidating polling locations, so people must stand in long lines, in inclement weather, for as long as ten hours to vote, is also voter suppression; removing the names of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of registered voters, without warning or notice from the voting rolls, is voter suppression; making it difficult and/or expensive for people to aquire the proper identification to vote, is voter suppression too; posting misleading or incorrect information on in-person polling locations is voter suppression; making the instructions intentionally confusing and/or difficult to understand on how to fill out an absentee ballot or to register to vote is again, voter suppression! The aforestated are just some of many unconscionable and unconstitutional tactics Republicans have been using, to suppress voter turnout, in areas that tend to vote more for Democrats!
Is it that hard to vote in America? Poll are open 7 days a week, 10-12 hrs a day...free public transportation to and from voting poll... shit, do people want the volunteers at poll location to bring the machine to them?
I'm in Harris County tx, and there's free transportation to and from voting locations, just have to contact local authorities...the mainly reason why people who don't vote is just pure procrastination... there is plenty of resources to get voters to the poll and most companies in America will let employees take 30 min-1 hr from work go to vote
That’s bullshite. I swear some people want to behave like victims. I guess it absolves them of personal responsibility for their lives in their own mind.
Voter ID should 100% be necessary every single time. Other countries have it, what's going on with the US? Stop making everything about race. As long as you portray yourself as black rather than American, that is part of the problem.
They claim voter fraud does not exist but yet the democrats led a now falsely proven claim that Russia and Putin fraudulently stole Trump the election.
They claim voting rights are being restricted but admit 2020 had the highest voter turnout including black turnout. It's all nothing but missinformation.
They’re doing all that, instead of securing the ballots and boxes. Put it online, like every thing else. If we can bank online, we should be able to vote online.
Thank you for the history lesson but this is 2023. What are BLACK people doing TODAY to make sure their vote will count in future elections? Also, did I miss something but was there a President of the United States of America that was a MAN of COLOR, who was elected twice?
Of course she is and it's obvious for any rational person to see. 2020 had the highest voter turnout in history including the highest black vote but this whole video is about how voter rights are being suppressed 🤦 you can't help people who don't see how obvious this is. They are a lost cause.
I was waiting for a quick rundown of information about how it affected black people. Literally didnt say anything about it. Like what? Can I just go back watching Martin Smith's documentaries? Also the hipster music is too loud.
🙄 You *don't* need a day off to go vote. Most voting places are *opened several weeks including Saturdays* before actual Election Day, not to mention *by mail* like absentee ballots. Voting in America has been made most convenient and FREE. No excuse not to do it. It's way harder to study up on the issues and candidates you'll be voting for.
Wake up kitten and do your research. That may be what you experience in your own state but that is certainly not the case in many other states. 19 states have passed at least 33 new laws that make voting more difficult. Check out New Hampshire, Mississippi, Arkansas and plenty of other states. People aren't lined up for hours on Election Day for nothing.. 😔
@@circa1890 : 🤔 Sounds like you've NEVER voted in US elections before so think it's hard. According to the "National Conference of State Legislature" website last updated on June 2023, *46 states plus DC allow "Early In-Person Voting" starting 3-46 days before Election Day* with an average of 20 days. For examples, 10 days in Hawai'i, 15 days in Arkansas. For the 4 that don't, just *register and request "Absentee Ballots" and postmark it* before state's deadlines. The ones you see in line on Election Day are likely those who were undecided up until then about issues and candidates, enjoyed getting Election Day stamp and experience, or just plain ill-prepared. Nowadays, *so much info is posted online* and easy to check! Even welfare recipients can get a free smartphone and data plan to use. *Primary elections happens like clockwork every 4 yrs* so no excuse to say you didn't know it ahead of time to register and vote.
Frontline PBS, you should be ashamed for disseminating this kind of misinformation and blatant lies! Fortunately, the downvotes make it evident that most people are not gullible enough to fall for this misleading content!
Republicans in the county next to mine moved polling places at the last minute. That primary affected black voters who's polling places now have much long lines. You'll never see a playbook labeled "how to keep black people from voting" but ask any Republican strategist and they're tell you they'll proposed policies that make it as easy as possible for they party to vote while making it harder for the other party. It just so happened that the vast majority of Black people vote Democrat. But it's not "Discrimination against Blacks", which is illegal, it's "Discrimination against Democrats"
Women were last to receive the right to vote. Both parties try and suppress the vote of the other. Stop blaming everyone else and pretending to be a permanent victim.
Voter suppression is something that shouldn't be ignored, however sounds like a really good excuse to challenge any political person who is against your ideas and you have historical facts about voter suppression backing your argument.
That's ridiculous and completely in contradiction to the facts. Voting could be made a lot easier Automatic voter registration throughout the country would be a good start.
Ridiculous….you need an ID for everything…driving, buying liquor, cashing a check, opening a bank account etc. The real question is why are you trying to normalize not having an ID to vote? Are you saying black people are not smart enough to get an ID? There is no valid excuse to not have some form of ID in America.
None of those other activities you listed are constitutionally guaranteed rights. And yes, there are some valid reasons why someone wouldn't have an ID in America.
On this episode of propaganda, we see how we can spin 'why blk americans cant vote' even though there is no state or federal law which discriminates against them😂..
Because it's a lie. It's been a well known lie and been debunked but how propaganda works is that if you tell a lie enough times, people start to believe it.
Why this is propaganda. 1. They name issues that effect everyone like having to work or voting day and make out its a strictly black issue. 2. Bringing up historical points that were real but have been fixed MANY years ago to justify their position now. 3. Democrats "Voter fraud doesn't exist" also Democrats "Russia fraudulently made Trump win the election" 4. "Voting is being restricted" also "2020 had the highest election turnout ever.
@@rextrek Wow nice casual racism. But unfortunately for you, you won't get a reaction that you want out me or anyone else because the facts speak louder than anything you could say.
@@rextrek I tried laying out the 4 reasons this is Propaganda but yet every comment was blocked. It's not votes that are restricted, it's speech and people's access to information.
My daughter and I mail or Voter registration on in pine bluff Arkansas inside the USPS on 2901 S Fir St, Pine Bluff, AR 71603 11-07-2024 between 8:33 -9:00. Our voter's registrations applications made it Secretary of state office on 11-08-2024. Instead of them placing the postmark date of 11-07-2024 they place a stamp date of 11-08-2024, there no way you can I can mail a letter on the 8th and they received mail that day through usps, so therefore the fact is my mail was received on the 8 which means it was mailed before the date received. Due to this we had to use a provisional ballot. Which l believe is Voter suppression.
If you think voting is in danger--go vote. If you think it is not. Go vote. Voices on both sides that scream about issue are doiing more to manipulate voting than any fraudsters or vote deniers.
@@rextrek you call yourself a critical thinker but yet you can't see that they could only name issues like working on voting day which effects everybody and more so the non black vote. You can't see that they mention true historical points that have been solved because there is no issue today. You can't see that they claim voter fraud does not exist when republicans say it but made up the now disproven claim that Putin and Russia fraudulently won Trump the election and you can't see the open lie and contradiction in this video by saying voting rights are under attack but yet the 2020 election had the highest voter turnout in history. It's always those who claim everyone else isn't thinking critically that buy up the most easy to see missinformation like this.
I am just confused about what Americans chose to focus on. Although we may not have voter fraud significant enough to tilt elections, we should still protect against it. But voting should be made as easy as possible for average citizens - and that Real ID being forced down everyone's throats ain't it. I also think Election Day should be made a national holiday (it is here in Korea) and employers should be obligated to give an hour long break on election day. But I don't see anyone advocating for stuff like this.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Then why do we have minimum wage and other worker's rights? It is one of the most basic and essential roles of government to protect the rights of the people. If you don't think they should do that, what do you think they exist for?
@jabbathetrump187 No... RealID's ain't it. That is specifically the form of ID everyone's being forced to get in lieu of a Driver's License. Unlike a driver's license (a more reasonable requirement for voting), getting the RealID requires a person to produce their birth certificate. This can prove a challenge for many people, specifically homeless populations (regardless of race). Hence my objection. Please read my words carefully before condescending to me.
@Joe-sg9ll I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but if you are genuinely insinuating people of low socio-economic status shouldn't get to participate in the government by consent that directly affects them, please go back to 1810.
Students of history knew that after the Obama presidentcy there would be a backlash and that is how we got Trump in office. History seems to repeat over and over again.
Black people can vote; the problem has always been who to vote for, since neither political party addresses our concerns. Democrats take black votes for granted and provide no tangibles whereas Republicans are more open with their racism. I have chosen, therefore, not to vote and haven't since 2012.

The key is to stay focused, keep pushing forward, and remain optimistic about the future. As the great economist John Maynard Keynes once said, 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.' So keep on thinking outside the box and driving progress, because your vision and leadership are exactly what the world needs right now. And remember, as the famous entrepreneur and investor, Peter Drucker, once said, 'Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.' Keep making those courageous decisions, and the economic landscape will soon change for the better."
You can apply to get your votings rights back after a certain number of years. But its not free or guaranteed.
For a moment I thought that I was watching Vice News 🤦🏾♂️
Why does You Tube allow this kind of misinformation to remain for all to see?
Pandering is En Vogue…

This is rediculous. Not getting the day off to go vote isn't a person of color thing. You presented nothing that made me think it's hard for some to vote based on race.
I agree. I’m black and never had an issue voting. I took my brown behind down to the freaking voting poll and voted.. End of story. Gee
@@sidisura Well, good for you. But not every black person has the kind of job where they can simply take time off of work to stand in line for 2, 3, maybe 8 hours in some places. Did you know this is a real thing in the U.S. today? And it's intentional.
People who hold low-wage jobs don't have the luxuries you do, and low-wage jobs are largely held by black and brown people. Millions of them, whether you know about them and can empathize with them or not. But frankly, you should know about them. Unless of course, you're perfectly happy with the completely ineffectual and in some cases corrupt cohort of politicians who hold office today.

If that were the case, America would not have an overrepresentation of black politicians in DC and US cities based on their population.
non sequitur, and not even a correct one but just another racist
28% of the House of Representatives and 12% of the Senate are not white, this is compared to over 40% of the US population.
Also, "though many large cities have a majority-minority population, only about a third of large cities have Black mayors, and Latinx/Hispanic mayors are even less represented"
So wtf are you talking about? Even IF you were right, that would not debunk systematic racism when it comes to voting.
Don’t need a day off to vote. How about leave earlier, vote on your way into work? Common sense is optional in this country apparently

To ask for an ID to prove you have citizenship to vote is not racially based. The inability for blacks to vote was DEMs who had tests, poll taxes and KKK threats. Those have long been gone and free state voting IDs for all, is not long a hinderance in voting as you cant do anything without an ID in todays society. IDs preserve the integrity in the voting system.
I have voted since 1980 and have always been asked to show my ID. Even in Hawaii-where there isn't really a majority or minority race-up until a few elections ago where all voting is now done through the mail. And i have seen people who did not have a driver license, use their social security card (which was accepted as an ID and they voted).
And never forget that your vote is not worth anything unless you stay on top of what you elected representative does in office. What they vote for, what they propose, and then you need to ask them why they proposed or voted for something you were against (they may have information you did not have) as well as thank them for votes where you agreed.
Final thought, we need to spend more time monitoring the effects of laws that are passed as opposed to getting all upset (or excited) when a law passes, never bothering to see what came from the legislation. Often things that sound good end up doing harm when enacted-or end up costing billions more than we were told.
Okay, except for the fact that republicans in the same bill closed dmv offices, shortened their weekday hours to when most people are working, made new laws closing polling stations in black counties, and they draw districts that dilute the black vote. Luckily, in Alabama, Blacks are getting the second VRA district that they deserve.
It used to be in slave days. Just get over it. it’s over now! Everyone is equal now, why is it so hard to understand .
Learning history is good. But today, voting just isn’t that difficult.
Apparently asking for ID is suppression now.
That's false.
Disruption of the U.S. mail to purposely make it unreliable for sending in/back absentee ballots is voter suppression; removing without notice community USPS mail boxes is voter suppression; limiting and/or removing all absentee ballot drop boxes is voter suppression; decreasing the time people are able to early vote is voter suppression; consolidating numerous community polling locations together, so people must travel further distances to vote, is voter suppression; consolidating polling locations, so people must stand in long lines, in inclement weather, for as long as ten hours to vote, is also voter suppression; removing the names of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of registered voters, without warning or notice from the voting rolls, is voter suppression; making it difficult and/or expensive for people to aquire the proper identification to vote, is voter suppression too; posting misleading or incorrect information on in-person polling locations is voter suppression; making the instructions intentionally confusing and/or difficult to understand on how to fill out an absentee ballot or to register to vote is again, voter suppression! The aforestated are just some of many unconscionable and unconstitutional tactics Republicans have been using, to suppress voter turnout, in areas that tend to vote more for Democrats!
Not if you vote republican. You can vote twice lol
@@pinoygal6232It was when white people weren't asked for id to vote way back when. Feel stupid now?

Your lies are adorable .
I'm in Harris County tx, and there's free transportation to and from voting locations, just have to contact local authorities...the mainly reason why people who don't vote is just pure procrastination... there is plenty of resources to get voters to the poll and most companies in America will let employees take 30 min-1 hr from work go to vote

They say having to work on voting day effects the black vote when they have the lowest employment rate of anyone. Clear lie.
They have to name historical examples because they have all been solved and their is nothing today to mention.
They claim voter fraud does not exist but yet the democrats led a now falsely proven claim that Russia and Putin fraudulently stole Trump the election.
They claim voting rights are being restricted but admit 2020 had the highest voter turnout including black turnout. It's all nothing but missinformation.

They’re doing all that, instead of securing the ballots and boxes. Put it online, like every thing else. If we can bank online, we should be able to vote online.
Absolutely not.
Thank you for the history lesson but this is 2023. What are BLACK people doing TODAY to make sure their vote will count in future elections? Also, did I miss something but was there a President of the United States of America that was a MAN of COLOR, who was elected twice?

🙄 You *don't* need a day off to go vote. Most voting places are *opened several weeks including Saturdays* before actual Election Day, not to mention *by mail* like absentee ballots. Voting in America has been made most convenient and FREE. No excuse not to do it. It's way harder to study up on the issues and candidates you'll be voting for.
Wake up kitten and do your research.
That may be what you experience in your own state but that is certainly not the case in many other states.
19 states have passed at least 33 new laws that make voting more difficult.
Check out New Hampshire, Mississippi, Arkansas and plenty of other states. People aren't lined up for hours on Election Day for nothing.. 😔
@@circa1890 : 🤔 Sounds like you've NEVER voted in US elections before so think it's hard. According to the "National Conference of State Legislature" website last updated on June 2023, *46 states plus DC allow "Early In-Person Voting" starting 3-46 days before Election Day* with an average of 20 days. For examples, 10 days in Hawai'i, 15 days in Arkansas. For the 4 that don't, just *register and request "Absentee Ballots" and postmark it* before state's deadlines. The ones you see in line on Election Day are likely those who were undecided up until then about issues and candidates, enjoyed getting Election Day stamp and experience, or just plain ill-prepared. Nowadays, *so much info is posted online* and easy to check! Even welfare recipients can get a free smartphone and data plan to use. *Primary elections happens like clockwork every 4 yrs* so no excuse to say you didn't know it ahead of time to register and vote.

Ridiculous….you need an ID for everything…driving, buying liquor, cashing a check, opening a bank account etc. The real question is why are you trying to normalize not having an ID to vote? Are you saying black people are not smart enough to get an ID? There is no valid excuse to not have some form of ID in America.
None of those other activities you listed are constitutionally guaranteed rights. And yes, there are some valid reasons why someone wouldn't have an ID in America.
On this episode of propaganda, we see how we can spin 'why blk americans cant vote' even though there is no state or federal law which discriminates against them😂..

Instead of them placing the postmark date of 11-07-2024 they place a stamp date of 11-08-2024, there no way you can I can mail a letter on the 8th and they received mail that day through usps, so therefore the fact is my mail was received on the 8 which means it was mailed before the date received.

But voting should be made as easy as possible for average citizens - and that Real ID being forced down everyone's throats ain't it. I also think Election Day should be made a national holiday (it is here in Korea) and employers should be obligated to give an hour long break on election day. But I don't see anyone advocating for stuff like this.

@jabbathetrump187 No... RealID's ain't it. That is specifically the form of ID everyone's being forced to get in lieu of a Driver's License. Unlike a driver's license (a more reasonable requirement for voting), getting the RealID requires a person to produce their birth certificate. This can prove a challenge for many people, specifically homeless populations (regardless of race). Hence my objection. Please read my words carefully before condescending to me.
