The opinion piece by Hans Spakovsky at The Washington Times begins:

Do laws that require citizens to present valid identification to vote create an undue hardship? Worse, are they racist? Artur Davis used to think so.

ID law and admits, “I wish I had gotten it right when I was in
political office.”
