The way voter ID laws like this prevent citizens from voting is generally considered a feature — by restricting ID forms common among the young, such as student IDs, they change the makeup of the electorate to favor Republicans.
i wish there were some kind of court that would overturn injustices like this
This, much like gerrymandering, is the point. If you can’t win, cheat.
Don’t more developed countries have voter ID laws than not? It’s interesting to see that this is one metric where ‘everyone else does this except the US’ is not used as an argument for the change that would align the US with the rest.
Most of them have a national ID that everybody gets, not the complex mix of IDs that the US has.
If we had that, and everybody had a national ID as a matter of routine, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But we don’t, because issuing one would be the mark of the beast or something.

That’s true, but then on the state level, such could be implemented alongside that type of law, within a given state, and then that state would be set up ‘equivalently’, right?
Those two things should go hand in hand, ideally within the same legislation, I’d think.
