North Dakota has no voter registration, so proof of identity makes sense. But Republicans made it so that one's address had to be a residential address instead of a P.O. box knowing full well that Native Americans on reservations rely exclusively on the latter in large numbershttps://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1049778552013541376 …

It is helpful. You asked the question "do we know it isn't [in good faith]?" And the question itself is laughable because the GOP hasn't operated in good faith since at least the Reagan era.

It’s difficult to disenfranchise *10%* of the population of a state that should be able to vote in a “good faith” effort to improve democracy.
-
10% of the state population does not have an address?
-
The post office does not offer them to rural Indian reservations

Marty, I see you're getting annoyed at quips, but you've already been given a real answer: You could IN THEORY pass a law demanding a street address and still be acting in good faith, but in that case the law would also accept Tribal IDs as valid. Eliminating both is ratfuckery.

If you've been paying attention, you'd know it's also 100% factual.

I'm guessing what Barbara means is: even when the selective-disenfranchising moves the GOP makes by sheer accident HAVE something one could point to as objectively justifying it, it's a safe bet that their intentions weren't in good faith.

How many bad faith attempts do they need to make?

So, I often think about this. Two reasons I think it's in bad faith. 1 - America's centuries long history of disenfranchising voters of color. To think that it's centuries long, but somehow these laws which disproportionately impact POC are not part of it is.......naive
-
2 - How easy do they make it to get alternative forms of ID or other ways to address the problem. Both these issues coupled together make it clear to me the rash of voter ID laws around the country is about disenfranchising and not protecting the vote
