What's not fair about our current election process?

Voter ID is fine if you can guarantee everyone can get an ID without cost or effort. Can you guarantee that?

Exactly. ZERO cost, and ZERO effort outside of requesting it. Until the GOP gets on board with that, voter ID is a total non starter.

We can guarantee everything else in this state, and there is plenty of programs that provide so much already,why wouldn't we be able to provide ID's ? And why shouldn't voting be an effort? Nothing is free.

Because this is the land of the free and voting is a right. You want a fair election process, but aren't against it requiring effort to vote. That doesn't sound fair to me...

Also, this state can't guarantee shit.

If poll taxes (which are illegal) are fine with you, which constitutional right are you willing to give up in return?
