I've been using a photo ID to vote for years until the 2020 election. I don't buy the argument that a birth certificate is too hard to obtain. I've to use mine on multiple occasions in the last few years.
I'm bothered by the argument that it is not necessary to verify who the person is who is voting. And I never really heard a viable alternative to the currently required ID's. Unless, the argument here is that we shouldn't care who is actually voting.
But in any event they should show both sides and I don't believe that was done here.

Nonsense movie not backed up with fact. They represent only half of the issue, while demonizing others.
Democrats think so little of minorities that they can't believe they know how to go to the DMV and get an ID. They do it to get on planes, buy alcohol, and dozens of other common activities in America, but to show an I'd to vote is now racist and suppression. What a lie!!!
This movie did not age well. LOL! As audit after audit shows Democrats harvested votes and changed voting rules. This movie avoids the belief by those interviewed that minorities are unable to obtain ID cards! The new movie by the same title that uncovers $400M in Zuckerbucks in swing states completely destroys this puff piece. OH boy!
Rigged is a powerful, information-packed program on how during a ten year period since the election of a black President, Republicans and their allies have deliberately devised a playbook of strategies to suppress or intimidate minority voters.The documentary goes into detail on each of the ten strategies, showing examples of them in action,such as a lady sheriff in a Texas county who has a Latino man arrested on the charge of voter fraud, and a busybody in a rural Carolina county who goes about getting voters who haven't participated in several recent polls purged from the database.The film does give some hope in the sense that at least one of the strategies, the cumbersome Voter ID laws, has been temporarily stopped in some of the states shown, by the courts.But mostly this film will have to serve as a tool for groups who want to make sure that the right of citizens to vote can be protected from these threats.
