ohh No!! states might actually be allowed to force people to prove who they are before they can vote.
why must we place such undue burdens on people, like making them prove they are who they say they are before they can vote.

Lol, so true.  The only people who don't like the Court's ruling are those who are against Voter ID, something that would actually help cut down on voter fraud.  Of course, we can't have that. 

You do have to prove who you are before already, it's called voter registration. You must register before you are allowed to vote. You must provide ID and proof of residence to register.

Voter fraud isn't a problem. It is not very common. It's a strawman used to get people to Vote for voter ID laws. Voter ID laws are used to limit minority and low income votes.

Lol, and how does it restrict minorities?  Do they have it where there are white only voter ID stations, and the black/hispanic ones are in little shops that are hard to come by?  Or are you suggesting that minorities are too stupid and/or lazy and can't/won't do the things that white people of all income brackets would have to do to get a voter ID card?  That sounds pretty racist to me.
