Fact #1: Voter fraud is negligible. Assertions are not evidence.
Fact #2: Our most vulnerable citizens often have great difficulty obtaining a photo ID. Dhillon's goal is to discourage them from voting by establishing pointless hurdles.

Agreed. Public Relations 101 advises to get bad news out fast and fully; in Bannon's words, "flood the zone w/ sh*t." This drip, drip, drip keeps the issue front-and-center. Almost as if Trump & his sycophants are stupid.
