How Is Requiring ID Before One Can Vote "Disenfranchising" Voters?

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

You racists should understand there are two systems in the US. One, for responsible, law-abiding people. You are expected to work hard, pay your taxes, keep your kids under control, pay for their education and fund your own retirement. If you get into trouble with the law, say for a dui or maybe forget to take your hunting rifle out of the trunk, expect to be prosecuted to the full extent because of the need to show "even-handed justice" and "zero tolerance" policies. Expect to exhaust your savings on attorney fees as well.

Then there are the people obama and the democrats cater endlessly to. Nothing is expected of them. Criticizing any aspect of their dysfunctional lives is evidence of racism and a mean-spirited nature. Getting arrested means nothing to them, as they know they can run up multiple violent felonies as juveniles, then again as adults before anyone will take it seriously. And they have free legal aid attorneys to smooth the way for them.

Of course, their vote counts exactly the same as yours, or in some places like chicago, several times what yours does. Obviously, having to actually go to a registration place before the election to register to vote and prove they are legally entitled to vote is far more onerous than could reasonably be expected. I suppose we should be grateful the democrats haven't passed laws mandating that they get 100% of that vote without the necessity of them having to actually vote. So far, that has only happened in contested recall elections, like in Minnesota with the Franken robbery.

Haven't they ALWAYS required ID to vote? What are they going to do, ask for the ID in a more firm demeanor?

I've voted many times starting with Nixon in '68 and was only asked twice to show my Voter Registration card that is not a photo ID.

Under this system, people from both parties staff the voting place and are allowed to challenge someone's identity, but I never saw that happen.
