Isn't it possible that closing DMVs had absolutely nothing to do with voting? Alaska, for example, has been restricting services provided by DMVs to cut back on spending.
Democrats have claimed an inability for some to get IDs as a wedge every time voter ID is proposed. Often the claim is that minorities aren't able to get an ID. What a condescending statement. Everybody that wants an ID has an ID. ID is required for many aspects of life in the US. I do not believe that an inability to get an ID is as widespread as is talked about. Skin color certainly is not a factor on ability to get an ID.
There are 22 states that require photo ID to vote. There are an additional 15 states that require ID but accept non-photo IDs. There are only 15 states that do not require any verification that a person is who they say they are when voting.
Not requiring any ID to vote is a minority position. The Democrat party seems to be exceptionally vocal about not requiring ID to vote. That only leads me to ask why? What do they gain from not requiring ID to vote?
I would be asking these questions regardless of the party that was vocal about the issue. I do not have allegiance to either party. I see government in general as an enemy of the individual. I do support voter ID as it prevents a specific type of shenanigans.
