God you're dumb, especially for calling your word vomit "intellectual honesty"
ID for voting is stupid. It is PROVEN that voter fraud is a non-issue, so voter ID laws pivot exist to disenfranchise voters.
On the other hand, as the mayor of a city, you can't run subsidized or non-profit grocery stores for the whole state plus new jersey. It's just not sustainable, especially not during the delicate early phases where any hiccup will be blown out of proportions by the media.
One is a provable non-issue, the other is a significant practical risk.
