The Left's Ridiculous Cries of "Vote Suppression"

In a New York Times editorial, they write:

"Next fall, thousands of students on college campuses will attempt to register to vote and be turned away. Sorry, they will hear, you have an out-of-state driver’s license. Sorry, your college ID is not valid here. Sorry, we found out that you paid out-of-state tuition, so even though you do have a state driver’s license, you still can’t vote."

This is utterly ridiculous to me. I was an out-of-state college student. In the eyes of the law at that time, I wasn't a legal resident of Ohio. There is no reason I should have been permitted to vote in an election in Ohio. I should have been voting via absentee ballot in NJ. I say "should" have because I cannot for the life of me remember where and how I voted in the 1984 election, the only national election that occurred during my out-of-state residency. I know I voted for Reagan, but I can't remember if I did it by absentee ballot or did it in Ohio. But, fact is, I should not have been able to do it in Ohio, because there was nothing preventing me from doing both -- voting by absentee ballot in NJ and voting in person in Ohio. There never would have been any corroboration.

Presenting a valid ID is a simple, logical requirement that doesn't present a significant hurdle for any engaged legal citizen, regardless of age or ethnicity. The attempts to paint this as "voter suppression" are embarrassingly transparent attempts to make sure there are no ways to track this sort of voter fraud.
