Its not that hard, but when you don't have a car or any easy way to get around, and you don't need a photo ID for any other reason because you are too poor to fly etc, why would you bother ? It makes it impossible for those who encourage people to vote on voting day by taking to where they vote and bringing them home to get those who don't have photo ID to vote because there is no way to organise a photo ID on the day as well. > If they're poor and on public assistance then they need ID to get that. There are plenty who aren't that don't need ID. > This is such a BS argument you make, Nope, its certainly true that the dregs of society are much less likely to have a photo ID, because they are less likely to have a drivers license etc because of the cost of the car. > you're regurgitating party talking points.
