Is it possible to have national ID laws and not let states like Texas mess with those.

Maybe that's not what you meant it seems a bit racist assuming that young black youth who want to vote are too incompetent to get an ID. But presumably poor white or asian ones are smarter and more resourceful. Having lived in poor neighborhoods with various races I'd say that not true based on my experience.

You're the one bringing up incompetence. It's hard to get a driver's license or state ID when you have no car, work a full time job or two, the legislature closed your "local" DMV and the closest one is an hour away by bus.

I was trying to figure out what OP meant by the fact that black young won't be able to get IDs to vote. So presumption of incompetence was a guess there.

Black people are more likely to be poor in the first place.

(Not that a policy which selectively disenfranchised the poor would be acceptable if it were race neutral in effect.)

And, it may or may not be Constitutionally possible to have a centralized national ID, but it's certainly not politically likely.

No need to assume, you can just check the statistics.
