Guys, we recently went through redistricting here in LA, as did the rest of you. I was fairly intimately involved in it. I can tell you for a fact that there are no smoky rooms with old men sitting around drinking bourbon and figuring out how to screw the minorities.

The rooms aren't smoky, there is no bourbon, and they talk about screwing over the other party, not minorities.

There are 2 things going on here. Everyone can agree on the concept of requiring ID for voting. There really is no way to fault the logic behind having to prove you are who you say you are when you exercise such an important right. The problem is that there is no problem in need of such a logical solution. Simply put, there is no voter fraud where people are pretending they are someone else.

So, while I agree that requiring voter ID sounds good, I also must agree that it would disproportionately affect many without ID, who happen to be minorities. Sometimes it's OK to disproportionately affect a certain group of people, if the result is important enough. But, nothing would be improved by this. Therefore, it's not worth it.
