The government’s role regarding voter ID laws should to make a federal law stating that all needed in order to vote is a social security number. This is because voter ID laws suppress both racial and socioeconomic minorities, and waste huge amounts of money that can be spent making it easier to vote across the whole country, fulfilling the 15th amendment, and ultimately our democracy as well. In addition to the facts regarding how minorities are suppressed through these laws that I have already presented, there are several more key statistics that show just how suppressive these laws are. 9 out of 10 white people have the government ID required to vote, compared to 1 in 4 black people. Minorities are overall 20% more likely than white voters
