How about the important questions instead? Such as:
1. What could be the possible motivation for a national political party to NOT want a voter to display valid identification?
Elections are kind of important. If valid identification shouldn't be required to do so , then:
Why should we have to display i.d. to get a driver's license?
Why should we have to display i.d. when a cop pulls you over?
Why should we have to display i.d. to get on an airplane?
Why should we have to display i.d. to get healthcare?
Why should we have to display i.d. to get a loan?
Why should we have to display i.d. to get in/out of the country?

From what I can recall (I don't know if the measure has been rewritten), out of state identification and college issued identification were some examples of identification which was not considered "valid" for purposes of voting.
Draconian is having to get a state issued ID? Seriously?

In the states with this, the id IS free.

Hyperbolic statement was hyperbolic.
But yes, it is ridiculous to expect a college student going to a school out of state--who takes the time to register to vote in the state where he will be attending school--to have to get a whole new set of identification just to vote.

So you're going to say that being registered to vote in the state with the college, and being told that your college identification and out of state driver's license are not valid is acceptable?
Because that's what the voter registration laws which were suggested would say.

Its actually much easier to get a fake ID than to get a real one (took me 4 weeks to get my DL, and 20 minutes to get my fake), at least in Illinois and Minnesota. Which effectively makes the law pointless.
The guy in the video could just as easily have shown up with a photo ID of himself with the name "Eric Holder" on it.

Elections are also unique in that they important for political reasons that extend beyond simply being issues for the parties to bicker over.

As such, they aren't really comparable to anything else outside of rhetorical gamesmanship, which I'm sure is not at all something you enjoy participating in.

To claim the passed law hurts others once passed to get it repealed or declared unconstitutional DOES require proof. If your logic for acceptability is 'doesn't affect the election' than you would have to prove it did to get the passed law sticken.
No, you would just repeal the law, since you don't need to offer realistic supporting evidence when deliberating in the hallowed chambers of government.

Gravity affecting some people more than others, is not a fact. it would be awesomely fun though.
Having said that, I read an excellent book, where as one of the effects of bad things, holes of negative gravity appeared at random. Imagine buildings, houses, and people, just randomly losing gravity and floating up up and away. It had the image of a sky scraper slowly rising in the air, surrounded by helicopters as it gained altitude.

The part in orange is what I said. The part in blue is Frazzled's response.
- voter ID requirements disproportionately affect the poor and so also black people ***That’s an argument, not a fact.
First, my statement: Voter IDs cost something. Whether it is the ID itself or the costs of the underlying documents (such as obtaining a birth certificate) or the various logistical expenses (taking time off of work, obtaining transportation, etc), there is no such thing as a free voter ID. The costs no doubt seem utterly insignificant to many Americans, especially those who can afford access to the internet and browse a webpage devoted to painting expensive toy soldiers. But to other Americans, these are significant and additional obstacles to political participation. These other Americans are the poor and a disproportionate amount of impoverished Americans are also black.
Now my response to Frazzled's gloss: You step into the road and see a tractor trailer barreling down on you from less than a mile away. I see the truck as well and shout to you, "get out of the street or that truck will hit you." You retort, "that's just an argument, not a fact." Confused, I yell back "no it's not, there's a truck right there." And you say, "the truck driving on the road is a fact, yes, but you can't be sure the tr--" and then you are hit by the truck. Cause is a fact; effect is also a fact. Now imagine if there was no time at all between stepping into the road and getting hit by the truck. That is the situation of voter IDs -- the poor have trouble affording voter ID as soon as it exists as an idea.
Stepping back, we can ask some practical questions: are people who are not determined enough, or however else you'd like to denigrate them, to obtain voter ID actually going to vote? I don't know. My own cultural assumptions and prejudices make me think that voter ID requirements will not result in disenfranchisement in fact. But I also think that the law will not address voter fraud in fact. So as a matter of practicalities the law is meaningless -- except once you consider that it will make it that much harder for Democrats to get their base to the polls.

***ID’s are free. I am sure the “underlying documents” are also free if needed. That’s an excuse.
More importantly, the right to vote is a right, but its like everythinhg else, there are costs. If I can be charged to buy a gun (2nd Amendment) , and pay a fee to get a parade permit (1st), and can take some effort to vote, which impacts others. If you can’t make the effort to register once, how are you able to vote?

I know you're done. We've danced this dance recently and you weren't able to provide any evidence that voter ID requirements actually address an actual problem then, either. I don't blame you for that. After all, Indiana couldn't produce any evidence to the Supreme Court and I'm sure they tried a lot harder than you have to find it.
