Voter ID Laws Could Make More States Red And Swing Election

Five million people may be affected by voter ID laws that will make it more difficult for mostly Democratic voters to vote. As Politico reports: “The laws tend to disproportionately affect young voters and minorities — key Obama demographics — so the new restrictions will have an outsize impact on Democratic turnout. In Pennsylvania, for example, 18 percent of Philadelphia residents, who voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008, don’t have adequate IDs to vote in 2012.”

    If these people dont have the ability to get proper ID, then they shouldnt be allowed to vote. If they are incapable of getting the right documentation to have ID then how do you expect them to be able to make an informed and rationale decision on who to vote for.
