At the number of (white) (liberal) people that really believe that requiring an ID (or, as in the Save Act, proof of citizenship) will disenfranchise black and brown people.
They really believe that people especially black people, cannot get a drivers license of state issued ID, and go through life without one on a daily basis.
(I suspect that because they don’t know many people that aren’t white, they really believe that those people are lesser, and are simply not intelligent enough to figure out how to get an ID and that they, unlike whites, simply don’t need one because they pay cash for everything and don’t have bank accounts and such)
I’m not sure if it is “Soft Racism” or simply ignorance…..
Soft Racism” or simply ignorance…..Don’t they go hand in hand?
I don’t know any people who believe Black or Hispanic Americans are incapable of obtaining identification. That seems to be arguing against a position few actually hold. The real question is whether the specific documentation requirements create enough burden to prevent some eligible citizens from voting and whether that burden is justified by the election-security benefit gained. That’s a policy debate. It doesn’t require believing anyone is less intelligent or less capable than anyone else.
