Voter ID No Problem

Liberals have claimed voter ID laws disenfranchise many voters, particularly minorities. Nobody in recent memory has accused The New York Times of a conservative bias. Which makes Nate Cohn's article, about the unlikelihood of voter ID laws changing election outcomes, even more believable. He concludes:

Voter ID laws do not swing many elections, because people without identification do not represent a large share of registered voters; they are particularly unlikely to vote; and a share of them will vote Republican.

Stack that against the great value of discouraging voting by those not entitled to do so, and you conclude that requiring a government-issued picture ID is essential. Hat tip to Instapundit for the link.
