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

For God's sake, it's been explained at least half a dozen times here and the information's available just about anywhere. Educate yourself. Unless, of course, that's not you real motive for asking this question.
@Graylight usually the responses are bullshit
@Harley4Life I don't disagree with needing ID to vote.

What I disagree with is the narrative that it's "easy" or "simple" to get an ID.

@Harley4Life Bullshit to you. Unfortunately, very valid to social scientists.
@Graylight "social scientist?" 😂😂 holy shit the left gets dumber and dumber.

Let me ask you this. How do YOU personally feel about it?
@CopperCicada i have never had an issue getting an ID

@Graylight @Harley4Life Very valid to people who are working class, young, and/or colored.

@Harley4Life
Economists
Geographers
Historians
Psychologists
Sociologists
Survey researchers
Anthropologists
Behavioral sciences. Social sciences. Legal can Criminal justice profession.

...and more. How "dumb" can you be?

Personally, since I know how to judge, analyze and understand valid studies completed under the scientific method, I'm with them. These laws are and have been, both occultly and with clear intent, used to disadvantage voters who skew high on poverty and low education. Make it equally easy and free to get and ID and I'm on board.
@Graylight so if you have low education you are to stupid to get an ID? That's pretty condescending thing you say.
@Harley4Life I dunno. I'm stumped how to get a state birth certificate when my county in upstate NY has a registry of the birth but Albany doesn't. And I'm not stupid.

“Social scientists” = plotting conniving libs” @Harley4Life

No one with a grain of academic rigour in their grey matter would ever use the word "occultly" in any serious discussion of any topic but the occult. @Graylight

@angela2106 The term is used every single day, both in medical settings and by people who know synonyms and vocabulary.

The term [b]occult[/b] (from the Latin word occultus "clandestine, hidden, secret") is "knowledge of the hidden". The term is sometimes taken to mean knowledge that "is meant only for certain people" or that "must be kept hidden."

[b]Occult[/b]: Hidden. For example, occult blood in the stool is hidden from the eye but can be detected by chemical tests.
