This week, the Supreme Court declined to overturn North Dakota's controversial voter ID law, which requires residents to show identification with a current street address. A P.O. box does not qualify.
Why doesn't a PO box qualify? There are any number of reasons a person may not have a personal home address and that, afaik, does not disenfranchise you. Unless we want to be literal and original and go back to I guess the late 1700's and require property ownership to vote. In which case an address is invalid, because anyone who rents and has an address is not a property owner.
What is it with people and believing in these provably false boogey men who are committing non-existent voter fraud? THERE IS NO VOTER FRAUD. There's just a lot of scared white people who think returning to some non-existent nostalgic version of 1950 will fix everything. As if that were even possible.
