It's
not, hard to understand. It's just also largely
not true. For instance, the North Carolina voter ID law that was struck down for being deliberately discriminatory; they had even done a study to identify which IDs were least likely to be owned by minority groups, to use those as the voter IDs in question;

If you passed a voter ID law that
also gave out free IDs to all citizens, readily available all across the State, nobody would have an issue with that.
