@ArcaneSlime (You seem to be mixing me up with someone else.) In any case, it's normal to doubt a premise if it doesn't match your personal experience, but denying data because it doesn't match your anecdotes isn't reasonable, even less so is denying inconvenient studies under the assumption that all inconvenient studies are fraudulent. Unless you can point out what's specifically wrong with the study I cited, I'm going to believe its results over your anecdotes.
@ArcaneSlime Other countries that have the same exact ID and voting systems would probably be similarly impacted. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove in reference to the study I shared.
@ArcaneSlime @dmention7 There is evidence that minority groups are less likely to have IDs, but the results of ID requirements appear to be mainly reduced participation by all groups and only disproportionately reduced participation by Latinxs. (Disclaimer: I don't know if this is a robust result or only this one study.)

@PugJesus The POV makes me thing of third-person shooter video games, and I'd love to see one that has your art style.

@ArcaneSlime I'd be happy to send you the paper (or there are other ways you can get it if you check into a "hub" of "sci"ence.)
The point of acknowledging conflicts in previous work is to explain the need for the current work. That doesn't mean the current work doesn't clarify the issue.
More importantly, the results of the study suggest voter suppression for all groups and only more notably for Latinxs despite previous research showing that minorities do have more difficulty getting IDs.
