Yes, voting ID requirements in the US are discriminatory.

Other countries with universal and easily obtained IDs might not have the same outcomes, but in the US the ID requirement for voting only exists to suppress minority voting. You can find a lot of sources on how it works, but keep in mind that at the same time states added the ID requirement they also made it harder to obtain an ID.
The idea that voter ID laws are pro-white-hegemony is basically racist.
How did these people register to vote without ID? How, if IDs aren’t checked in that process, do we know some of those people weren’t registered twice or more?
