[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since most Americans, including Democrats and black Americans, are in favor of voter ID requirements, what is it that those who are pushing against voter ID requirements are angling for? [/quote]

Free government assistance obtain the ID — or acceptable forms of ID that don’t disproportionately impact any group of people.  It doesn’t make sense to me that a student ID with a picture issued by a state university would not be acceptable - when a gun license is just fine.

So, older person born at home in a tiny town in, let’s say Alabama. No birth certificate, no Baptismal record, might have a family Bible indicating their birthdate.   The onus should not be on this citizen to spend the considerable  time and money it would take — if it is even possible— to meet the standards for obtaining a Real ID in, say, Hawaii, in order to fulfill a drummed up solution to a problem that doesn’t appreciably exist. It’s worth pointing out, yet again, that many of the forms of ID deemed acceptable require a birth certificate before they will be issued.  [/quote]

For the circumstances you listed, they'd have to be pushing 100, even in a tiny rural town in Alabama.[/quote]
