Exclusive: All-party report on rules governing 2023 local elections calls voter ID system a ‘poisoned cure’
Is anyone surprised? It’s pretty universally understood that this is the outcome when you add restrictions to voting.
So universally understood, I struggle to see any way this wasn’t the goal

No fucking shit.
Still, they don’t recommend repealing it. They said that more forms of ID need to be accepted.
Morons!
The stupid thing is that if you consider what would need to happen to make in-person electoral fraud happen on a large enough scale to shift an election… it would be bloody obvious that it was happening. The people working at polling stations are going to notice if the same person turns up to vote as 20 different people, and they’re also going to notice if the real person turns up as well as someone pretending to be them. You literally couldn’t hide hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes arising from impersonation.
This is what happens when you bring in a daft system and ask people to police it when they’re not trained to do so.
They highlighted the case of Andrea Barrett, who is immunocompromised and was blocked from entering a polling station after refusing to remove her mask for an identification check.
Awful. No one should have to risk their life to vote.
