I'm in Kansas, which has early voting and absentee voting and is a heavily Republican state. Seems to work here. What I don't understand is minorities drive cars and fly on planes, both of which require picture ID. No one says that's unfair to them. Yet ask for same at polling stations and y'all make it sound like Jim Crow laws are being reinstated. Are the majority of minority voters without picture ID? If so how do they function in today's world? Also, how is posting policeman at polling stations voter suppression? Link says there's never been one case of voter I.D. fraud in Missouri, but goes on about how posting a policeman at doors of polling station is voter suppression. Yet does not cite any examples of police actually turning people away. If they had done so the media would've been all over it. I guess I'm thick in the head because I just don't get what the problem is and why this affects Democrat minorities when it doesn't seem to bother minorities voting Republican.Van doesn't believe in voter suppression. Like most republicans he thinks all the voter ID laws and limiting of early and absentee voting just happens to disproportionately effect poor and minority voters. Republicans are in favor of fewer people voting.
