Yesterday North Carolina Republicans compromised and agreed to drop voter ID as part of an election package.  Today, Democrats decided they didn’t want any polling place checks at all, including use of a voter registration card, something that presumably every real registered voter would possess.  More here.  Sometimes such extreme positions are taken that it leads to perfectly reasonable questions about the motives of such opposition.  Why would they oppose production of a document that a voter per se must have to be a registered voter?  If they have lost it, surely they could vote a provisional ballot, right?  What rational justification could support this position other than potentially wanting to manipulate the system?
