Social Justice Warriors disagree with the Social Scientists.
Via Free Beacon:
Testimony in the Virginia voter identification trial came to a close with social scientists not being able to definitively say that the voter ID law, which requires voters to show photo identification at the polls before being able to cast a vote, was implemented with intent to hurt minority voters, as opponents of the law have argued.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports:
Social scientists testified for the defense Wednesday in the last day of a trial over the state’s voter identification law, attesting that they could not definitively say that the law was intended to blunt the influence of minority voters.
A lawsuit filed by the Democratic Party of Virginia and two voters contends that the law that went into effect in 2013 was enacted by the Republican-controlled state legislature to suppress votes from minorities and youth who are more likely than other voters to support Democrats and tend to be less likely to have a valid photo ID.
In addition, on March 1, former election officials who testified before the court said that they were not aware of any circumstances involving potential voters having trouble casting a ballot in Virginia since the time the law was enacted.
