It's pretty well-established (or - at worst - there's a pretty strong first-American-principles argument) why requiring an ID to vote is unconstitutional. Governments have been constantly trying to figure out ways around it, but the fact that they have to figure out ways around it has good reason. On the flip-side, IRS information is private & potentially security-threatening information. I don't know how I feel abou…
When you say "well-established," do you mean within your own mind? It seems like the public overwhelmingly (80%) thinks otherwise. https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthp...

Given that citizens themselves don't have a right to vote under the US constitution I'm curious how it's "pretty well-established" that requiring an ID to vote is unconstitutional.
Given that your first statement is an easily dismissible falsehood, how would we rate your level of understanding to even begin explaining that Payment for Rights isn't legal in the US?

Please cite the specific article or amendment in the US Federal Constitution that explicitly gives citizens the right to vote.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.Re: IRS Will Require Facial Recognition Scans to Access Your Taxes

I dont understand why requesting ID to check off a voter on an electoral roll is a bad thing. 1. Anyone should be able to register to vote, as long as they are eligible. 2. Eligibility should be straight forward (this seems to be where the issue is). 3. On election day you turn up, show a proof of ID so the roll gets checked off, go vote for President Kang. How else do you stop people from double voting / voting as a…

We don't use majority rule to settle issues of fundamental rights in the United States, so I don't see how your comment is relevant.

How are public opinions on a topic related to ongoing well-established legal rulings on the topic?
This being a democracy, public opinions do matter even about issues that may be settled by a court.

This, the 14th amendment, doesn't give you the right to vote, this says you can't be denied voting based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The 19th amendment says it cannot be denied due to sex, the 24th says there can't be a poll tax, the 26th say you can't be denied because of your age as long as you're over 18. There is no right to vote in the U.S. constitution or Bill of Rights, because the "Fou…
"Citizens shall not be denied X" is as strong as rights are expressed in the Constitution.
This is like saying the Constitution doesn't give people the right of free speech because it's expressed in a negative rights way (govt shall not impede)
