[EL] Voter ID isn't a game-changer (paraphrasing)

I'd like to chime in quickly (though I could write tens of thousands of
words evaluating how the nuances - big and small - of our democratic
republic disparage effective representation for America's
underclass/struggling).
Voter ID may circumstantially disparage non-whites and/or Democrats, but
that's not the primary descriptor for those upon whom its target falls -
our underclass: those who don't bank, travel, drive, etc.
It may never be a game changer in determining the nationally dominant party
[FN 1], but that doesn't mean it's not significant in further disparaging
effective representation for the underclass.
While there are surely thousands, I'll include one example of how this
manifests.
If I remember some old research correctly, a plurality of misdemeanor
convictions in California are for driving on a suspended license and
(unless I remember incorrectly, in which case I apologize for the error)
most of those misdemeanor-conviction-yielding suspensions are for failure
to pay traffic fines.
...We give people misdemeanors for simultaneously being indigent and doing
something which most adult livelihoods depend on.
That's without a voter ID law - possibly just an effect of the partisan
primaries (before top two was implemented), which were almost-always the
only deciding election in legislative contests and had very low turnouts of
which indigents were negligible..
I do suspect that some legislators simply prefer to be more in the service
of the affluent and comfortable than the poor and struggling; particularly,
I think some concern is owed to the intra-party effects of voter ID.
I recall there was once puzzlement on this listserv about Rhode Island's
democratic legislature adopting voter ID.
It's not a puzzle. There are democratic legislators who'd prefer to further
imbalance the influence and representation of affluent and comfortable
democrats over those not-so-economically-comfortable.
In summary, I wouldn't dismiss it being an "apocalypse" for the hope of
getting policy-makers and the organism of government to care about those
who don't have cars or bank accounts.
-Thomas Cares
FN 1. However, when you compound many distorting factors such as
gerrymandering, disparate per-capita influence resulting from the US Senate
and Electoral College, and then add on new things like Voter ID (and the
bill described in the second post below, etc), I wouldn't write off that
'aggregated distortions' can surely determine the nationally dominant party.
