Butttttt.... the party will only reinvent itself once you get rid of these types of people.

i don't know what "voter suppression" is since it seems to be this amorphous idea what has no solid backing but best i can manage is that i've been told it's "voter suppression" to mandate that people prove they are who they say they are when they vote so i'm not changing the subject at all i'm talking about "voter suppression"

Philosophically, I agree 100% that people should be required to prove who they are when they vote. And, an ID is the best way that we currently have to prove this.

But, it is an action, and an expenditure of money, that is without a problem. Why should we spend millions of dollars to force people to prove who they are, when no one is lying about it in the first place?

If and when there is evidence of voter fraud, then grab these laws and pass them in special sessions of state legislatures. But, until there is a problem, we don't need a solution.

If they make a method in which to get IDs to everyone, mailing, phone, DOOR-TO-DOOR (such as a census), and to provide free of charge, then yes. Until then,no.

How would a state handle absentee voting?

The problem is that the position of POTUS has become too lucrative for the parties to let the public decide who gets the job.
