I am not white, but I live in a fairly affluent, mostly-white suburb. ID is not even required to vote! I just give them my name, they look me up, and I get my ballot. Only thing difficult about the process is the line (though, recently they did have two police cars with cops sitting outside the facility, which could be seen as voter-intimidation).

It is a pretty clear double-standard; minorities are subject to stringent requirements over something that is not even that big of an issue, voter-fraud, which I could quite easily commit in my hometown by coming back at later times and assuming the names of my grandparents (whom are now in another country)!

The political system in the 'States has really gone down the toilet. It is a joke. Why people fear changing it is beyond me.

Don't worry, it's to stop voter fraud. Like the fraud of voting while black.

How is this even legal?

Why not? It deters voter fraud and doesn't hurt anyone.

1. There is no way to know how much voter fraud occurs undetected.
2. It only makes voting more difficult for people who aren't legally allowed to vote, such as dead people.
3. Just because an idea is good, does not mean that every state will adopt it. 
4. Just because an idea is good, does not mean the federal government will adopt it.

For the sake of argument, it's possible, but it doesn't warrant disenfranchising people who lack ID from voting, unless there was a way to prove that voter fraud is a huge problem, but since, according to you, there is no way to know know the amount of voter fraud that occurs, then it's perfectly okay to disenfranchise a large segment of the voting population.

It actually makes it difficult for living people to vote simply b/c they lack the required identification. Shutting down DMV locations doesn't help a damn thing either. Texas voter ID laws are good example why they're not good.

It's about as good idea as drug testing welfare recipients. Probably even less of a good idea when you consider the undemocratic nature of voter suppression. In any case, there probably have been many decent people who believed that poll taxes and literacy tests were good ideas and were benign.

 While I take issue with practices such as these that blatantly look to keep certain groups from voting, I do not disagree with showing some form of ID to vote. I enjoy being able to vote as easily as I do where I live, but I still find it kind of dumb that I could assume the identity of my grandparents who no longer live here (ethnic names, too, so it's not like taking my grandmother's name as a male will raise any flags). It is really not that unreasonable to recognize loopholes like these and close them.
