Why is it that Republicans continually strive to make voting more difficult?

It is very simple, the GOP cries about voter ID, then makes it almost impossible for minorities to get it. But they wanted an NRA card to be acceptable. They close DMVs in minority areas, just like they closed voting places. The courts looked at some voter ID plans and said they targeted minorities. It is just like the sabotage of the post office to stop voting. The right needs to look at itself. They are not attracting new voters by trying to return to the fifties.
Substantive elections are held every two years. You are claiming that minorities are so stupid and incompetent that they cannot obtain ID acceptable for voting in that time; ID that is in most cases quite inexpensive. Quite a few of these same "disenfranchised" minorities receive some sort of government stipend for which ID that is acceptable for voting is required. They didn't have any problem procuring that.

The only people who should be voting are US citizens who are informed and who are willing to expend the effort to go to the polling place on election day. If they meet the qualifications but are physically unable the go to a polling place, they should be accommodated. The rest should go to Hell... or Venezuela, take your pick.
Ever think it might be unconstitutional bet you do but don't care

How many “voters” don’t have a driver’s license?

The major ‘minority areas’ are the large urban cities - controlled by democrats.
The states that were held in check by the civil rights amendment are the ones who attacked voting rights.

They do not strive to make voting more difficult. They strive to make Democratic cheating more difficult. See how easy that was to answer ?

AFL-CIO huh? Well, I wonder why they would be against voter ID. This is one of the most absurd subjects that has ever been discussed. If libs are too stupid to reason that this necessary, then we are in real trouble.

Who do you think would try to impersonate a voter? Maybe one or two people would try it. Not enough to make a difference. In NJ, and in California I used to be able to vote in a neighbor’s garage. The poll workers knew the voters. Those poll sites are no more.
