Republicans rewriting state election laws in ways that could hurt Democrats

Summary: The Democratic leaders are upset with the Republican leaders who are trying to make it harder for everyone to vote. The Republicans are trying to pass new laws – which would require proof of a valid photo ID at the voting booths. A certain percentage of the Democratic Party does not have valid government-issued photo ID. This would reduce the amount of qualified democratic voters; which could potentially have a toll on the outcome of the election.

Analysis: This is unfair because the percentage of democrats whom do not have valid photo identification cannot afford it. The Republicans claim that they are trying to “prevent voter fraud and make elections more fair”. However, there doesn’t seem to be many cases of and fact of voter fraud to support their objective. This is a good example of how one party is trying to get ahead of the other party.
