NEW: Despite having one of the lowest voter turnout rates in the country, Indiana Republicans advanced a bill to end a nearly 20-year-long law and ban student ID cards as an acceptable form of voter ID.

Yes. But the states are constrained by the US Constitution. The 15th and 19th A protect voting rights of women and minorities. In the past, SCOTUS viewed many of these laws as violating the 15th A. So, states are not unlimited in what they can do.
This is a perfect example of why the Democrats are idiots for wasting time trying to get along with the GOP when they had control of both houses of Congress.
When they get the chance, they're going to ANNIHILATE you.
This has been going on since the late 60's.
"What is your MALFUNCTION?!"
If red states aren't going allow citizens freedom to vote in elections withdraw all federal funds that they receive. What did they agree to to become a state?
This is crap. They are of age, living in USA, have id and you're saying college students don't have the right to vote. If the eliminate one ethnic group it will spread across all college students including those who live here and are citizens.
That's because they know that, among other things, young people in particular want to see meaningful action on global warming-- which Republicans are accelerating.
Republicans generally don't want rules or laws to constrain them. The don't want to accelerate climate change they just don't want any constraints on themselves to stop it.
I’ve been a registered voter, during the course of my life, in three different states. I’ve never once been asked to produce a form of identification….where is this done? I walk in, tell them who I am, they pull up my name and signature and I sign in. I thought that was the norm??
They are trying to take over the country by blocking people from their legal right to vote in elections. They did that all over the country that’s why Donald Trump won they illegally took away peoples rights to vote in different states and that’s why Trump won. It’s called gerrymandering.
Technically what you're talking about is voter suppression. Gerrymandering is specifically about manipulating legislative district boundaries to favor one party over another. Point taken that both are bad tho! So many ways to game election results, it's headache- 😣
