Yeah, but does Canada have a history of suppressing minority votes by closing the offices where minorities can get IDs, like in Alabama where they closed DMVs in predominantly black neighborhoods a few years back?
Sure, that’s one way to look at it.
But think about it this way... if you were governor and wanted to save money, where would you close DMV’s? Would you close them in the wealthier neighborhoods who actually pay taxes and make those people drive into the hood? Or would you close them in the poor neighborhoods that not only don’t pay taxes and can’t afford to support a DMV office, but half of them cant afford cars and don’t drive anyway?
How often are ID’s renewed? Once every 4 years And they make it sound like the only reason to have an ID is to vote. But the reality is, you need an ID for just about everything. Open a bank account, get a job, etc... so most likely if they are in any way contributing to society, they’ll already have an ID or make the bus ride to go get one if they don’t have a car. The impact on voting would’ve been nominal unless someone was trying to artificially inflate the voter participation rate.
