She didnt answer that simple question.
... Of course it cannot be answered but the issue looks great on twitter and cnn.

Actually, it can be answered rather easily, but it isn't the "correct" answer.
Simple, honest answer : No, ID is not racist, sexist, homophobic, arachnaphobic, or anything else.

You are right,...I wanted to say that could not be answered while contending her position.
This voter ID thing, is like most things the Left refers to as Racist, is NOT racist at all.
You know what is Racist? The freaks on the Left that are pushing the narrative that non White people in America are too damn stupid or lazy to get an ID.
Holy shit man, a child in the US knows how to get an ID.
They are very inexpensive. Hell, I would be okay if the Government paid for the ID if one could not be afforded by the extreme poor.
ID is required for EVERYTHING in the US. Except voting.
EVERYTHING needs an ID. It is impossible for voter ID to be racist.

Here is the bullshit I've been fed by family members when I brought this up:
"They make you have to go to DMV to get one, then close all the nearest DMVs so people of color can't get one."
Yes, in the year 2020+ they still use this bullshit 1970s argument on why black people can't get an I.D.
And when you call them out on this they start regurgitating the racist ideology that black people can't afford to get an I.D.
I just looked on New York State's website.

I would be willing to wager that "poor" people of any race will have a state issued "benefit" card complete with photograph. I would have no problems with this as a suitable ID as long as the penalties for forgery are the same as other state issued identification.

In the state of Georgia, mentioned in the video, a voter id card is..........wait for it..............FREE
So folks want free stuff, but sometimes, even that free stuff is racist.
I think it is the need for a birth certificate, presumably from someplace in the US, is the "racist" part.
Georgia requires that a voter show a government-issued photo ID in order to cast a ballot. A U.S. passport, a Georgia driver license or a Georgia state ID card will work just fine. But for a person who doesn't have any of these and doesn't want to get one, Georgia offers a special photo ID card called a voter identification card that comes free of charge to any registered voter in the state.
This free card can be issued by any county registrar's office. The voter must bring with them an approved identity document that includes the person's full legal name and date of birth, a birth certificate or other proof of the voter's DOB, plus proof that the person is a registered voter in the state
