Can someone please explain how showing an ID to vote is "making it harder for the young and minorities to vote?"

I don't know about the young and minority angle.

I do know from first-hand experience that getting an ID is not necessarily an easy thing.

@CopperCicada hardest part for me was dealing with the line.

@Harley4Life When I was in my 20's, my apartment was robbed. I lost my driver's license, checks, passport, birth certificate, SS card-- all my records of everything. I couldn't even get at my own money. Getting a driver's license after that was one of the hardest things I had to do.

@CopperCicada that's an extraordinary situation for something that is usually simple to obtain

@Harley4Life Yea. It's an extraordinary situation.

But not a rare one.

And there are a lot of different permutations of it.
