I wonder how many people who earnestly advocate for voter ID and the like have any clue that "conservatives" in this country have been doing this at least since the Constitutional Convention (3/5ths anyone) and most especially with wild success from not long after the Civil Rights Amendments until years after the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts.
