For all that 'advocates' say against a voter ID plan (*any* plan), they're sure to keep the 'consequences' vague. In other words the dialogue goes like this:

Pro: "Voter ID will cut down on voter fraud!"

Con: "It's discriminatory - it'll disenfranchise!"

Pro: "Well, everyone has to have ID to cash checks, etc. - but we can make sure an ID card is available to everyone."

Con: "But it's bad! It's a war against the poor!"

Pro: "How so?"

Con: "It's just bad!"
