Did the suppression of voter ID laws aid President Obama’s victory over Mitt Romney?
Obama did not win a single state that fully requires photo IDs, although he did win in four states that require non-photo identification – Washington, Colorado, Ohio and Virginia. Those states accept as legitimate identification current utility bills, bank statements and paychecks.
Obama won in New Hampshire, which just enacted a new Voter ID law that eventually will require photo identification. That law is not being fully implemented until September 2013.
Just to clarify, you aren’t correctly explaining how voting works in WA. We vote entirely by mail and drop-box, on paper ballots that get hand-counted. There are no physical polling places where people could be challenged. The ID material is used to register to vote, and the ballots just come in the mail 20 days before elections.
