The Debate Over Voter ID Laws: Necessity or Disenfranchisement?

In recent years, the issue of voter voter ID laws has become a contentious topic within American politics. Proponents argue that such laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud and maintain the integrity of elections. Opponents contend that these laws disproportionately affect marginalized groups and limit their access to the ballot.

Using evidence from relevant Supreme Court cases, federal legislation, and the impact on voter turnout in states that have implemented voter ID laws, construct an argument that either supports or opposes the implementation of voter ID laws. Be sure to address counterarguments in your response.
