Sociology
Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

Well if I can find it I'll look into it, but then again if the study says it doesn't disproportionately affect POC then it agrees with me on that part.
I still however don't know one single white adult without an ID either, you already need it for more than voting, and I can't see how showing the thing you literally carry in your pocket or purse 24/7 out of necessity already suppresses all votes either. I'm one of the paranoid assholes that hates identifying myself on every website and at every store just so I can get a big mac or an online service, I obscure my identity as much as humanly possible, I hate AI, facial recognition, ALPRs, Flock, 2fa through text, I don't even fly I take trains instead despite the inconvenience just because of all the invasive TSA horse shit (and maybe a little of "flying scary," I'll admit lol), and I STILL wouldn't even give a second thought about having to show ID to vote. Hell, when I do vote and they just ask my name and check me off the list, I'm tempted to drive to my non-voting friend's neighborhood and vote as/for him every time (I never have, but there's literally nothing but my own morality stopping me from acquiescing to temptation), but that also gives me the thought of "I cannot be the first person to think of that, hope nobody does it to me one day lol." Bro my polling place doesn't even have cameras, it'd literally be impossible to catch me, I couldn't do it on a mass scale of course but I could 100% do it and someone could 100% do it to me, all they need is my name and publically listed address.
