You didn't answer my honest question. How would voter ID requirements result in fewer legitimate votes and how could that be stated as voter suppression. When I ask how would, just don't restate it back to me as voter ID requirements result in fewer legitimate votes, educate me on what it is about requiring an ID to vote is suppression. Remember, voter suppression is the strategy to influence an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people (with a legal right to vote) from voting.Just a hypothetical phrased the way it is because enhanced voter ID requirements typically have the effect of eliminating more legitimate votes than fraudulent votes. That's why the right loves the issue. They know that they can scream about election legitimacy when they really favor the measures because they know they'll have an disproportionate impact on the poor and minority voters.
