"Voter ID laws" refer to regulations that require individuals to present specific forms of identification when voting. Advocates argue that these laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud and ensure election integrity, while opponents contend they can disenfranchise eligible voters, particularly minorities and low-income individuals who may lack access to IDs. The implementation of such laws varies by state, leading to ongoing legal battles and public debate about voter access and election security. Their impact influences voter turnout and the overall electoral landscape.
