I've liked +Cory Booker ever since he lost the Newark mayoral race. But he either doesn't understand Voter ID, or he is lying about it. You simply cannot say we don't need Voter ID by saying, "You're more likely to get struck by lightning in Texas than to find any kind of voter fraud," for the simple and obvious reason that without Voter ID, it is difficult to detect this kind of voter fraud.
And the broader idea that any group of citizens -- other than those convicted of felonies -- is losing the right to vote is just a lie. There is no effort to disenfranchise anyone, and there is no effect of that, either. They have no data to back it up. The closest they come is saying "estimates are that as many as, ..." which is another way of saying "we have no evidence." Because it's not happening.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
