Virginia has stiffened its requirements for voter ID. The data, however, does not indicate that there has been voter fraud. It's curious that the government passes laws to solve non-existent problems. As a poll officer, I am required to follow a number of requirements to preclude voter fraud. If it's made time-consuming enough, and hard enough, even fewer people will do it. Maybe government doesn't want us to vote? Wow! I've just had an ah-ha moment. It's a budget saving tool. Fewer voters. Fewer election officers. Fewer places rented to use for voting. I'm sure that the savings goes on and on. The propoenents of more restrictive voting requirement might want to point this out, and those silly liberals who think it's a conspiracy by conservatives to suppress the vote will be enlighted. It's an attempt by government to save money. I'm sure that we can all get behind that.
