You miss the irony of the situation in Florida. Repubs attempted to quash registration by third parties, like the LWV, citing ACORN & their dishonest attack on that organization, then end up with their own efforts being similarly discredited. Sweet Justice.
Democrats opposed the onerous restrictions on third party registrations all along. They only called out Florida Repubs to highlight Repubs' bullshit in the matter.
"They would if they could" isn't an argument, it's projection of one's own "values" onto others.
You're also projecting your personal situation onto others wrt obtaining picture ID, ignoring the fact that it's not so easy for other people. While the ID itself may be "free" in many places, the supporting documentation isn't. Let's try a hypothetical example, like an elderly woman who's been married & divorced twice, then widowed by a third husband. Let's say she's lived all over the country, changing her name with each marriage. She has to provide documentation for all of that, including her birth certificate, to "prove" who she is, even though she may be receiving SS checks or a state pension. It's a good thing she doesn't have to document all of that to keep getting those checks, huh?
But you seem to think it's a good thing she has to document all that to keep on voting...
When it requires zealotry to obtain the documentation to vote, then only zealots will vote, the whole point of current Repub efforts. "They must not want to vote that bad" is a bullshit argument in support of such.
Why should anybody need a counter argument to deal with a solution in search of a problem? Why concede that significant "Voter Fraud" is anything more than a conspiracy theory intended to make it harder for some people to vote? Should we say "You're right, but..." when you're not right at all?
It's nice of you to concede that all of this is a voter suppression effort, so why do you support it?
