They didn't even stop when GA offered to issue the ID's free of charge! OTOH, no one can come up with an case of prosecuted voter fraud to demonstrate there's a real need for these ID's. Why do I need an ID to receive any kind of government service, indeed, even to enter a gov't. bldg., but shouldn't have to show one to vote? BTW, when I voted this past Nov. in state and local elections, I was asked for ID. If the SCOTUS shoots this one down, I hope I can start buying guns without an ID too.
Hate to say this Rick, but I think you have it figured out...old style ballot box stuffing, once rumored to happen only in Chicago? It's nationational now. Far as I'm concerned? Voting? Might as well play 3 card Monte the streets of any major city. IMHO, elections are rigged...That's why I no longer vote. The only silver lining? I'm less likely to be called to Jury duty...which brings up another topic of rigged systems...
