That was kind of hinted at , but the video didn ' t even mention the FrancoPrussian war the final one of the three that led to the formation of the 2 nd German empire . But then again , I ' m not the one who would have had to animate all the facets of history left out of this video . <| sep |> It seems counterintuitive to me that Republicans would block something that would give them a political advantage , given their claims of illegal immigrants voting ? I mean , sure I guess it could create a slippery slope of abuse by authority . Especially if it was taken to 3 rd Reich levels where you could be arrested if you weren ' t carrying one . I was envisioning an ID that was strictly required for voting at the federal level , but you are probably right in a sense . If the ID exists , why not extend its uses ? Thengovernment abuse of power .
