I'm a white guy and I just spent 4 months trying to track down info just so I can get my driver's license renewed.
Voter ID laws were clearly passed with racist intent, as courts in North Carolina recently ruled.
It is just harder for poor people to pay for and obtain documents.
I had a hard time and I'm not even poor.
Some people simply are disadvantaged whether you accept that or not.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily malicious ie racist. Politics is a game. And if you can shrink the margins of voting demographics in certain areas, you do it. Voter ID laws are just an easy way to do that. Plus, it's not like there aren't millions of poor whites in the Appalachians that have ID's. More than just minorities would be affected by those laws, it's just part of the game.

You don't have to pay a red cent to get a state-issued ID card. This is literally the only time I haven't seen the poooooooor line up for something to be given to them that they don't have to pay for.
How exactly is it raaaaaaaacist to require that someone prove that they're registered to vote, and that they are truly who they say they are, when they go to the polls? The inverse of that argument, of course, is that the only reason Democrats fight voter ID laws is that they rely on some level of voter fraud, illegals at the polls, etc. to keep their folks in office. Explain otherwise.

Dude. They were going to make them free. All they had to do was show up and get their picture made, and they would have a picture ID. Some of the states even provided transportation to get their picture made. My thing is...if you have no transportation to get your picture made, how are you going to get to the poll?
Not only that, but article that was linked by you was written by liberal news sources. AND, if you read the article (I clicked on 2-3 and read) they were hardly conclusive, just comparing turnouts of the elections prior to the law and immediately after the laws were passed. It didn't take into account any other factors that might have affected those turnouts, such as the issues, candidates etc.
