3) This is not a debate - it's already been decided by the courts based on the evidence. There are lots of people in the US without valid drivers licenses. Poor people who never owned a car (mostly black and hispanic), students who are often out-of-state residents (and thus  -if they do have a license, it's from another state). Wealthy white person can AFFORD to spend all day at the DMV - and drive three towns over to get to one. Working class black guy who lives day-wage-to-day-wage cannot. There is absolutey no doubt that this particular ID requirement is racist voter suppression - this is already settled in court. The only question is whether it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It doesn't help the case that, every single time such a law is passed, it's accompanied by closing hundreds of DMV offices, only keeping the ones in wealthy republican cities open - so everybody else is screwed if you can't afford a 3 day trip without wages.
