Gerrymandering is changing electoral boundaries to improve the chances of the ruling party.

Voter ID seems to work fine in Northern Ireland too. The thing with in-person voting fraud is that it’s incredibly difficult to detect.

Well they brought in voter ID last year and it didn’t significantly change the outcome of the election so I would say that that is itself evidence that voter fraud is not happening. Since if it was this ID would have prevented it and we would have noticed a significant difference in the results.

Exactly. This is not gerrymandering.

However it is also unnecessary. You say it’s hard to detect in person voter fraud, however every professional analysis of voter fraud has determined that it does not happen in any significant manner. The sole purpose of this is to prevent voting, not to prevent fraudulent voting.
