After strict voter ID laws were introduced in Wisconsin, Milwaukee – home to 70 per cent of the state's African American population – saw the lowest turnout in 20 years

In terms of cost-effectiveness, this policy may well break some sort of record for how inefficient it would be. In the past it has been compared to using a sledgehammer to crack open a walnut, but the proportions of the proposed spend are closer to a bulldozer crushing a grain of wheat. But if the problem doesn’t exist, what is this law supposed to achieve? In order to answer this question, we have to look at its effects and whom it will impact.

You fail to mention that free voter ID will be available if you don't have the required ID. More lies. I'm sure black people will be as able as white people to fill in the application form. May I suggest you delete this horse shit article & apologise for it.

i agree with voter id. However its not going to solve the postal votes issue

Toilet paper masking itself as a newspaper.

No it won’t FFS!

Pretty racist assumption

'Black' voters don't have or can't get an ID? Why do you have such a low opinion of them.......?

Nonsense... It stifles voter fraud... Things you need photo ID for, • make a benefit claim • secure employment • secure a tenancy • obtain a bank account • drive a car • buy alcohol if requested • apply for a mortgage Who on earth doesn't have photo ID in 2019?

Legitimate Democratic function less important than.... Feelings?

Bullshit. You need ID just to pick up an eBay parcel at the Post Office, so what’s the problem at a Polling station.

As used all over the place •Spain •France •Malta •Belgium •Mexico •India •Canada •The Republic of Ireland •Northern Ireland •The Netherlands •Norway •Switzerland •Sweden •Some US states oh and you even need id to get into a Labour party meeting!

LOL, what rubish.

it stifles working class votes
