So, since the way you do things and the way that we do things are entirely different, that would explain why it is that you don’t understand why things are different.

This has been hashed, rehashed, smothered, covered, scattered and topped on this board. Let’s just start with the shutting down of BMV’s (where most people are able to get an acceptable ID) in minority areas, or limiting their hours to a few hours a month.

If you want _more_ examples of republicans working to make it harder for minorities to get acceptable ID, then I suggest delving into [I Pit the ID-demanding GOP vote-suppressors](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-id-demanding-gop-vote-suppressors/624943) that thread.

Good question. Ask those who are against any form of Federal ID, those are primarily Republicans.
