According to the National Public Radio program On Point Radio, as frequently happens, the Republican Party is disenfranchising thousands if not millions of would-be voters such as students, the elderly, the poor, and minorities, among others. Under the pretext of preventing "voter fraud" many states have enacted laws where IDs are required in order to vote. That is well and good, but not everyone (such as the poor or homeless) has the funds or access to purchase an ID card. To make matters worse, many states have disallowed student IDs for young voters in a cynical intent to gain an advantage by GOP candidates, who might otherwise be voted against by young students and other segments of the voting population, who would be more likely to vote Democratic. (tbc?)
