Conversely, maybe you can cite valid statistics from reliable sources showing how such laws have obstructed "the access to the voting process for individual who are actually citizens"? As far as I know, those states include GA, IN, KS, TN, WI, MS and VA. Seems like McCauliffe got elected in VA despite folks having to show and ID.
In other words, there are not legitimate concerns.

Requiring people to obtain an ID in order to vote makes it more difficult to vote. By definition then a voter ID law is an obstruction.
