Strict v**er ID laws do not suppress turnout, a new paper finds, regardless of sex, race, Hispanic identity, or party affiliation...In total, 10 states, ranging from Georgia to Wisconsin, require v**ers to show ID in order to v**e. Seven of those states require a photo ID, and three do not. An additional 25 states "request" that v**ers display ID, but may still permit them to v**e on a provision b****t if they cannot. The remaining states "use other methods to verify the identity of v**ers," according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The new research, from an economics professor at the University of Bologna and another at Harvard Business School, indicates that "strict" v****g laws of the type implemented in those ten states do not have a statistically significant effect on v**er turnout..."Strict ID laws have no significant negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any subgroup defined by age, g****r, race, or party affiliation," the paper's authors found. "Most importantly," they write, strict ID laws "do not decrease the participation of ethnic minorities relative to w****s. The laws' overall effects remain close to zero and non-significant whether the e******n is a midterm or p**********l e******n, and whether the laws are the more restrictive type that stipulate photo IDs."

Pure BS...if you selectively purge 800,000 registered v**ers in dem heavy districts by zip code you are going to create a whole lot of people trying to use provisional b****ts, which then get uncounted for one reason or another. Any state doing this needs to do it for 100% of it's registered v**ers, not targeted areas.

In San Diego County, California, a strict v**er ID law would significantly reduce the number of v**ers who are undocumented or even Mexican Nationals who each have as many as 17 California drivers licenses. [Average was 7 licenses per v**er.] By California law each license is worth a monthly allotment of food stamps, free medical care and one v**e. I presume each license has a different variation of given names and an address in a different precinct. I believe the different address come from homes bought with a twelve million dollar grant from congress many years ago.

To me, v**er turnout would likely be larger if the population knew that their v**e counted for what they intend instead of uselessly v****g in a s**m e******n. It's my honest opinion that President T***p w*n in spite of everything Hillary's party tried to do to effect a phony win. Proof of that is her 'winning' the popular v**e but failed to garner the required E*******l College v**es, now the E*******l College(Constitution) is under attack as 'unfair' etc. The Dems haven't figured out how to 'rig' the E*******l College. If they do, it is all over.
As a sidelight,I would be ashamed to v**e Democratic or in any way be associated with the Dems. I honestly can't recite one thing that has benefited my life since FDR's first term began in 1932 that was allowed or instigated by the Dems.

Those who benefit the most from c***ting are always the first to complain against efforts to stop c***ting. Democrats also know that it is hard to ID a dead person, even in Chicago.

The problem in California a Drivers License is NOT a valid ID for v****g since in the past, anyone claiming a valid California address as residence can get a drivers license. Hopefully this will change with steps to identify on the license, which licenses belong to long-time, tax-paying residences, and which California Drivers Licenses belong to the undocumented living in California with no proof of birth within the United States and without Naturalization papers.

Cite your reference to "800,000 selectively purged registered v**ers in democratic district by zip code". All purging of v***r r**********ns that I have read have been either dead people, or those who moved out of state, or non-citizens who v**ed. Again, cite your source!!!!!
