Makes perfect sense. But the Left would predictably scream that such a severe penalty would effectively "suppress" the vote of some people. Seriously, they make these claims. I've heard them with my own ears.
I know a place where it’s hell on earth. A voter ID won’t matter in that Ward because the voters don’t even need to show up. Firs off, a Republican poll watcher wouldn’t be there because of extreme safety concerns and they pull the “D: lever again and again. How do you think some Wards had over 100% voter participation?
