I am stumbling to trying to word my point, so I will give an example of local politics here in AZ.
Voters in AZ passed a law stating that identification must be given at polling locations to verify who you are prior to voting. I voted for it. It is reasonable.
However, the governor (who is a democrat) and the attorney general (who is a democrat) have fought against this tooth and nail, mounting legal challenge after legal challenge. Their stated reasoning? That this law will intimidate minorities into not voting.
What?
I read that to mean that the democrats are afraid that those who are not US citizens may be afraid to try to vote. Why would being expected to present identification to show that you are who you say you are be intimidating? I would suspect (and perhaps I am naive) that it is because you aren't supposed to be voting in the first place.
This leads me to believe that the democrat governor and attorney general want fraudulent voting. I can see no other reason to oppose it.
Does this mean every democrat wants that? Absolutely not. But it is not secret that the hispanic voting block votes heavily democrat. Enough red flags there for me. I would not presume, however, that every democrat would want to see illegals voting.
