[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing the GOP didn't plan on: a significant number of their voters are older poor white people now, who don't always have a valid id. Whoops.[/quote]

Source for that?   Very, very few people do not have valid ID's.  [b]The states that require them make them relatively easy to get.

The bolded is the rub. Many states make it VERY difficult. For example, the DMV for a county may not be in a population center and not be transit accessible. So if you live in a city, you need to get a ride from someone to the DMV to get the ID. What if you don't know anyone who has a car or can give you a ride? Should your ability to be able to vote depend on that?[/quote]

If you are able to get to the polls or register to vote, you are able to get an ID.[/quote]

Polling is usually done at a local precinct, which is usually a local church, school or community center. Getting an ID is usually at a DMV or municipal building. As was mentioned in the previous post, many jurisdictions, particularly in areas where voter suppression is rampant, that location can be remove and not transit accessible. If you understand the changes the GOP has imposed in many parts of the country, you would know this. Be happy that you live in a place where getting an ID is as easy as voting. Many places are not that way.[/quote]
