Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is c: Voter ID laws.

Explanation:

To begin with, it is necessary to define what voter ID laws are. They are laws which require voters to evidence their identity before a ballot is cast. In other words, the voter must provide some kind of official identification in order to be allowed to vote. Many say that this system avoids fraud. Others, like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, claim that these laws are used as a tool so as to discourage the poor and disabled from voting. Requiring a voter ID discriminates against minority groups, such is the case of African Americans, Hispanic people, the elderly, and transgender individuals, among other minorities. It appears that it is not as easy as it seems to get an ID or another type of document you need to present when you vote.

Some states require a Photo ID, others a Non-Photo ID, and some others states do not require any ID whatsoever.
