Why are voter ID laws discriminatory only against poor minorities and not poor whites?
In 2011, 46.2 million people in the US were living in poverty and the nation’s official poverty rate was 15 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009, according to the US Census Bureau. That figure appears to be the highest number seen in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been recorded. Although poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics are proportionately nearly three times higher, by absolute numbers the predominant face of the poor is white, the latest report shows. Over 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four, accounting for over 41 percent of the US destitute, nearly double the number of poor blacks, according to the survey data revealed by AP.
I get it that a higher percentage of the black and Hispanic populations are poor and therefore potentially unable to get the ID’s required to vote, but if money is the problem then it’s really white folks who are being kept away from the polls.
