Editor, News-Register:

In recent years states have passed or attempted to pass voter identification requirements in order to be eligible to vote. West Virginia Republicans passed this law in 2018 with about 15 acceptable forms of I.D.

The Democrats at the time, and in other states, vehemently complained that requiring voter identification would suppress votes for those that had no such identification.

I’m curious, does anybody out there know of someone that knows somebody that knows someone else who is acquainted with anyone who attempted to vote or wanted to vote but was denied because they couldn’t produce one of the 15 acceptable forms of ID?

I would like to know if the Democrats’ claims were factual.

If you know of anyone please contact the editor of this newspaper at jmccabe@theintelligencer.net and lets get the answer available to all those who would like to know.
