Why represent the argument accurately when you can just parrot a talking point?


What is the accuracy of this argument that i'm missing?

Particularly in that nobody is saying they are "less able" in a way that would imply they think it's a feature inherent to black people. That's pretty ridiculous and shows either a lack of understanding or intentional misrepresentation.

For example, if population X lived 50 miles from the polling place, and the laws were changing to make it 100 miles, that would make voting more difficult than population X while not implying anything about their ability to drive 100 miles relative to other populations.

I think you nailed in dead on sir. Bard on the other hand is way off base. The people in the video are not yuppie hipsters from the left coast, they are from east Harlem and a perfect representation. Those Alabama folks he refers to don't exist, maybe there's like 6 of em and they probably white.

The only people against Voter ID are criminals and/or illegal immigrants.

So you didn't address the actual argument and just gave an irrelevant example? Ok

Believe it or not even poor people need id's and almost all of them have them. Even if you are living in absolute poverty working 20 hours a week at McDonalds you still need a picture id to get the job. People that don't have a job or never held a job and essentially live off welfare are still issued Benefit cards which once again are picture id's.

Secondly to claim that voting is a concern for homeless people is about the dumbest thing i'v ever heard. Have you ever talked to a homeless person? Have you seen their lifestyle? You really think voting is a concern to them? lol. It wouldn't make it in the top 1000 concerns for a homeless person. If i did a questionnaire and asked homeless people to list their top 10 concerns i can almost guarantee that voting wouldn't be included in 99% of those people.

Started off by ignoring the content, then went completely off the rails with a bunch of irrelevant drivel.

You need to chill and try reading for content. I know you get all butthurt remembering the spankings I keep giving you, but this is a pretty pathetic display even for you.
