  • This is more about the type of ID you need mixed with the cost/effort of acquiring that ID.

    Essentially, changes to ID laws impact voting by:

    • Making voting cost money - the government doesn’t provide these IDs for free
    • Making voting cost more time - getting theses IDs may require people (especially women who have changed names) to spend time navigating the beuracracy to get all the documents they need for the new ID requirements

    At the end of the day, voting should be free and people shouldn’t be penalized for how they do it. These kinds of laws try to make voting time intensive and expensive, meaning many people may not be able to vote.







  • I think the real point of the adage, “once it’s on the internet it’s there forever” is more about the fact that you, personally, can’t take it back. Someone might of screenshot, downloaded it, reuploaded it elsewhere. The real meaning being that, once it’s on the internet, you no longer control it. Which I think still holds true, but it definitely was heavily implied that it would be there forever.
