Blackdog said:Most states like Indiana offer free photo id's to those who can't afford them. Still no excuse.
What if you don't have an ID and you're not 'poor enough' to qualify for a free ID?
One should not have to pay to vote in the United States of America.
(not to mention the cost of obtaining a birth certificate, marriage license, passport, divorce record or other documents in order to get the ID)
Voter ID nothing more than a tax to vote (for those that don't have ID), which was rendered unconstitutional by the 24th amendment.
There is no problem to combat here and voter suppression goes much further than voter ID. Some are...
...restrictions on groups and their members doing voter registration drives
...eliminated same-day registration in Maine and Ohio
...rolling back early voting options
...revoking the rights of former felons to regain their right to vote in Florida and Iowa
We should be working to encourage voting. Making it easier. Not erecting unnecessary burdens.
