You know this

I'm sorry, but I have to reject most of your premise. As i pointed out, those people you mentioned for the most part already have photo ID cards. The statement that they are disproportionally low income racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, and people with disabilities is nothing but a smoke screen, designed to justify mail in voting. It has been shown time and time again, even in Congressional hearings to be inaccurate.

The underlying documents are precisely the reason that voter ID should be required. It's how one can prove that the person voting is, in fact, a US citizen allowed to vote and not an illegal alien.

Why do you think that more Dems than Reps prefer mail in voting ballots especially since COVID? Do you think that somehow Republicans care less about their health then Democrats? Or could there be another reason and the whole Covid thing is yet another smoke screen, designed to obscure the real reason? The fact is that without requiring people to prove they are actual US citizens, anyone can vote, and voting by mail is the easiest way for them to not have to appear in person with a picture ID as proof.
