I'd have to side with the voter I.D. laws on this. I mean seriously it's not really an issue of race some older people may not have a birth certificate but I'm sure states could come up with a way to help them out. Aside from that there is absolutley no disparity between any "race" (the notion of race is outdated as we are all human here I mean come on) we all get a birth certificate it's federal law. Therefore I see no problem in requiring you to be able to prove who you are at the poll. This is not similar to a poll tax at all the poll tax and grandfather clause and the other tests all worked in cohesion to ensure that the poor and former slaves could not vote. This merely requires 22 dollars that the majority of Americans can come up with if they really want to, and if they can't I'm sure many programs will arise to help them out if these laws become for a lack of a better phrase main stream. I believe while voter fraud is not at anything near a crisis level yet if left unchecked it could grow as an unchecked tumor does in the body of a cancer patient. These laws are necessary from keeping illegal immigrants from giving their in put on issues they have no buissiness in deciding. I do not believe these laws would cost Obama the election but every vote counts and honestly I am not as up on the fraud numbers in battleground states so its always possible
