[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think requiring a photo ID to vote (and a specific one at that), who think that removing ballot drop boxes in underserved areas, who think that cutting back on early voting, who think that shutting down polling places -- conveniently in areas where more Democrats tend to vote -- does NOT have any affect on people's access to voting have a limited imagination and a limited life experience.

I mean, that you cannot imagine how anyone would have any difficulty getting a new photo id that is approved for voting just goes to show the poverty of YOUR mind.

Exactly.

Ditto. My 85 year parents do not have photo ID and don’t travel by plane. They will not be able to vote with the new law.[/quote]

:roll:  So your parents never see the doctor?  Photo ID required.  [/quote]

DP.  I never have to show photo id at the doctor.  Not when I go to my pcp, my gyn, my dermatologist, my opthamologist or my orthopedist. [/quote]

Yes, you did the first time when you also gave them your insurance card. After that you’re correct. [/quote]

Which means pp’s point stands.  If you are already established with your doctors, you don’t need photo id to continue seeing your doctors.  PP was saying you can’t go to a doctor at all without a photo id, so lack of a valid photo id would mean the other poster’s elderly parent could never go to the doctor since she does not have valid photo id.[/quote]

I am one of the PPs.

I never made the blanket statement you can’t go to the doctor without ID (although they are sticklers for proof of insurance - which requires - wait for it - ID !!).

But Lab Corp and at least 2 of my doctors/dentist require an automated kiosk check-in that scans your DL.

The idea that there are many willing and eager voters, ready to vote, but who somehow can’t get some sort of valid ID is simply idiotic.

I do not believe these ID requirements will disenfranchise anyone in Virginia.[/quote]

+ a million
It is absolutely idiotic.[/quote]
