First - please try to avoid partisan tripe when replying, I am looking for honest answers here..
So with the voter ID issue, its being claimed that poor/miniorities will be "disenfranchised" and prevented from voting since they some how get through life without an ID...
First off, how do you get through life without a driver's license --- driving, getting services many places, buying alcohol, etc all require it.
Also, people are comparing it to a poll tax as you have to pay for the ID, but honestly the IDs are under $10 and if you are so poor you cant afford $10 every 4 years to renew a license then you likely are on government subsidised living, which requires ID to get the associated service.
I honestly just don't understand the oppisition.
