Over Id laws in southern states

Voter ID laws in Southern States
In the South States of America such as Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina over the period 2010 to 2016 they have passed several restrictive laws about voter identification in their legislative sessions. For each of those states, their memorandum provides as follows : a brief description of the substance of the new law. The date it starts being used. Types of photo IDs accepted which included driver’s license, state-issued ID card or a gun permit. The exceptions to the ID requirement that is the categories of voters exempted from providing photo ID during voting if any. Affidavit substitute to providing a photo ID, that is whereby some voters without qualifying ID can complete an affidavit to either obtain a regular ballot or to accompany the provisional ballot instead of providing photo ID. The photo ID requirements for the early and absentee voters, if any. Provisions relating to obtaining free ID, and requirements for public education that is the responsibility of the secretary of state to provide notice in advance of the personal identification requirements in a manner calculated to inform the general public.
These laws, however, have disadvantaged African Americans in these South states as they lack this restrictive voter IDs such as a gun permits or driver license. Reports associate the absence of these identifications with their high costs of obtaining things such as a car or a gun. As a result, the turnout of African-American voters has been seen to fall by a larger percent over that period compared to that of the white voters. These state laws have significantly suppressed and discouraged African Americans from exercising their constitutionally protected right to express an opinion. Despite the state issuing free ID cards for voting, their availability to the Democrats as low as the licensing offices is far from their homes.
