You need ID to do the following. The ONLY reason the democrats don't want voter ID is the obvious --- they are going to cheat.
- Open a bank account
- Withdraw money from a bank account that is already opened
- Buy alcohol or cigarettes
- Apply for food stamps
- Apply for welfare
- Apply for Social Security
- Apply for a job
- Apply for unemployment
- Apply for a hunting/fishing license
- Apply for a mortgage
- Rent an apartment
- Rent a car
- Get on a airplane
- Get into a government building
- Get married
- Rent a hotel room
- Talk to your cell phone company about your account
- Donate blood
.... and more....
Voter-ID laws continue to get a lot of attention, and proponents of the law are being drowned out by opponents claiming the laws discriminate against

GAME OVER.
Thanks for the response crazyT55
FYI-you don't need a government issued PHOTO ID for all those things....even now a days. Many other forms of ID can be used...
The issue dems had with the new Republican proposal for mandatory identification at the polls, was they wanted it or were pushing it to be only government issued PHOTO IDs,
and citizens who did not Drive, did not have one, and the difficulty they, as non car owners and non drivers, would have problems getting to places that issue them and the paperwork that may be required of which they may not have, and the cost or difficulty to get it....
A whole bunch of concerns with disenfranchisement of citizens who have voted their whole lives without needing a gov't issued photo ID. Lots of suits have taken place to stop this disenfranchisement, which the good guys

won, and non partisan groups formed to assist citizens in obtaining a govt issued photo ID.
...and as I said, AFTER 9/11/2001 is when these requirements started to take affect and the underhanded in disguise push by our government to have a National ID card, Papers Please!
I had no government photo ID when I opened my first bank account, when I first voted, when I first drove, when I bought my first bottle of wine or beer or Mad Dog, nor when I was laid off for winter from a store I worked in the summers, that closed for winter, and I applied for an unemployment check... My state didn't have photos on our driver's licenses, (they were not even laminated, but card stock, it was about 10 years or more behind other states on that!).
...this whole 'PAPERS PLEASE' Nazi
like attitude for ID by some Americans came AFTER 9/11, which is really not that long ago...
