[Matthew] Vadum’s conspiracy-theory nonsense...[is] a stomach-churning argument that dismisses the disadvantaged and the unemployed as pawns whose interests don’t matter.

Such laws disproportionately affect low-income persons as well as young people, people of color, older Americans, and the disabled.
