what's up guys this is Will Will with
prer today we at UCLA asking people
about voter ID and voter ID laws and
guys before we get into this video make
sure if you're here on YouTube you
subscribe you hit the Bell button you

do you think it's racist to require an
Ida to
vote Yes I think there's definitely a
problem with it because it is so
expensive to get the IDS in the first
place um and so yes I guess to the
extent that um money can tied to race
yes it is racist you would say that it's
harder for a black person to get an ID
than a white person I would have no idea
but I mean if if they say it is then I
believe them right I don't think the
idea of requiring an ID to vote is
racist in and of itself however it's
used to disproportionately impact black
and brown people Westwood like yeah you
wouldn't have like that much difficulty
getting an ID but like people in like
Compton like it's much more difficult
like it's like you know like just harder
to like get around if they like have
like lack of Transportation in like poor
areas I mean it's proven that you know
even without voter ID registration the
chances of fraud are exceedingly low
it's far lower than
0.001% tell that's a St from what I've
seen uh according to the ACLU and very
reputable sources about it now the ACLU
says that men can menstrate they're a
terrible resource do you think that it
should be required to have an ID to vote
uh probably not cuz not many people have
an ID I know a lot of people who don't
yeah same thing lots of immigrants they
don't really have IDs and even though
they're not technically Americans they
are living in America you don't think
that you have to be a citizen to vote in
America no because anything that they
pass like any laws it's going to affect
you anyway so why not have a a say to
what's going to happen so do you think
that
I could go into Mexico and go and vote
no cuz you don't live there do you think
that you should have to be a US citizen
to vote in elections here yeah yeah oh
wait
uh I don't know or if you've lived here
for long enough like a certain amount of
time on like a Visa or something like
that do you think that requiring an ID
to vote is racist in and of itself no
it' only be racist if like you could
like make it to other people like
certain races had less access IDs there
are people out there say like black
people don't have access to even get IDs
have you heard anyone say that before uh
I can't say that I have no you have an
ID I do you think voter ID is racist no
by no means why do you say that I mean
people say that you know like certain
people aren't like getting access IDs
it's it's a very simple thing almost
everyone has one um it's very easy to
get and you know it's important to make
sure elections are you know secure all

guy yeah he is um does he influence you

we fight a lot about politics because
he's coming from like a rich white
Manhattan Beach perspective um that's
