State voter ID law is biggest fraud
Kudos for the recent and excellent Times editorial on voter suppression.
Republicans are disenfranchising millions of voters, mainly Democrats.
As a worker in elections, I have seen how ridiculous the Tennessee law is.
An outdated driver’s license picture ID can be accepted, although it looks nothing like the voter. A valid student ID is not accepted. Further, absentee voters do not need picture IDs.
According to a Department of Justice study delivered to Congress, “Out of 197 million votes cast between 2002 and 2005, only 40 voters were indicted for fraud. … Since 2000, only 2,068 alleged voter frauds occurred from 146 million registered voters; only 10 were voter impersonation. … Between 2000 and 2010, 649 million votes were cast in general elections, and only 13 cases were in-person voter fraud.”
