I read that Obama did not win any state that required voter ID. Don’t know if it’s true, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
The author of the posted article from the Canadian Free Press that began this thread states in the first of her bullet points that Obama lost all four states that had voter ID laws: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, and Tennessee. I believe I read somewhere, however, that two more states had voter ID and Obama lost both of them as well.
Intuitively, you would think that voter ID would probably cut down on the shenanigans. But you can't really prove that it did from the data at hand. Remember that Romney was supposed to win all of those states anyway, and McCain won all except Indiana, which he lost narrowly in 2008. (The guess is that none of them had voter ID in effect in '08.)
Therein lies a dilemma about voter ID laws. Republicans tend to be more supportive of voter ID, so you are more likely to get it enacted in "red" states, states that the fraudsters generally concede from the get-go. However, in the swing states where anti-fraud measures are most needed, voter ID is more difficult to pass because of strong opposition from elected Dems.
It’s not true. He won multiple states that require voter ID, including my state of Virginia.
He also won multiple states that require picture ID.
There are 4 states that require voter ID that he did not win.
As voter id laws tend to be enacted in states that have republican control, it’s not surprising that he would lose some states with voter ID laws.
