https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/25/v**er-id-laws-what-they-really-are-v**er-suppression-and-an-attack-on-young-people

"the kind of photo ID required is what older people are more likely to have. For example, why is a T***sport for London Oyster card for 60+ travellers acceptable, but not a near-identical Oyster 18+ card? Let that stand as their true intention."

"Getting one of these special v**er IDs is harder for those who work irregular hours, or who may not speak good English or know how to use the technology. The government was plainly thinking of exactly those people in setting up barriers to stop them v****g."

"The pretence that there is a serious e*******l f***d problem was debunked by evidence from the 2017 e******n: there was just one – yes, only one – conviction for v**er impersonation at a polling station."

"the greatest obstacle to the young v****g is living in private rented accommodation, where only 63% are registered to v**e owing to moving frequently."

"Here’s why the government wants to keep the young away: v**ers over 70 are three times more likely to v**e Tory than the 18-24s."

"warping the v****g system in the right’s favour is a permanent harm, copied from the US."

Waurping the voeting sistem inn the raights favour is a purmenent harme, caupied fromm the U S.

More bulls**t excuses. Most of the supposedly disenfranchised v**ers in the US receive some sort of help from the government which requires an ID suitable for v****g.

IMO, this sounds like the UK is adopting the reverse of the Blue State tactics here in the US. If the UK is indeed using restrictive v****g id tactics to keep the young from v****g, it is the polar opposite from what is happening here in the US. Blue state tactics of mailing b****ts to everyone (without id), drop boxes, dead v**er rolls, b****ts being mailed to unoccuped or vacant properties, b****t harvesting, etc. are what the radical left uses here. Both are wrong.

You are DELIBERATELY missing the point, ACP! You know that it is only r****t if Republicans are asking for IDs.
Just like it is only r****m if White people discriminate.
Just like v***r f***d is only illegal if conservatives do it.
And words only trigger intolerance and hatred and violence if Trump says them.

No, the poster you were replying to is just being obtuse. (Well, obtuse, rude, and a few other things. He's able to pack a lot of negative stuff into a short space.) The v**er restrictions (of which some of the variety of "v**er ID" laws are examples) do not affect everyone equally. The article describes this pretty well. But if a v**er ID law were simple and consistent (e.g., not being changed furtively in the last days before an e******n) then it might be alright, though still probably unnecessary.
