" voter ID laws " how do people function in society without an ID anyways let alone voting?

Its not just poor people, its also the elderly and those outside of cities and those with limited transportation, and the one they don't tell you much about...students who might have a legal address outside the state they go to school in.

Older people have bank accounts from long before these new requirements, I've had mine for over thirty years.

I don't buy booze or cigs, my driver's license is also from forty two years ago. No WIC and most of my credit cards are at least thirty to forty years old.

The problem I have with voter ID is that the reason is supposed to be so non-citizens don't vote, and that means annual checks to make sure the person hasn't renounced their citizenship, and if that sounds odd, then what's the point of having an ID if it doesn't perform its basic function of assuring citizenship? It's not like there are illegals out there looking to vote. They tend to do their best to stay in the shadows. Not get out there and vote.

We don't even get out there and vote, making it more difficult, adding in the costs of the checks and the staff and the setting up of a new department to run it and you have to wonder what's the upside. And no, the Motor Vehicle department isn't going to take on the additional job that the Board of Elections already handles when they register you. We don't really need longer lines at the DMV to satisfy something that doesn't exist.

Voter ID laws would be fine, if the state governments did not close down polling stations or limit voting hours. When the states pass the voter ID laws, they add sections in the bill that limit voting hours, and limit it to where said people could vote. For example, if someone was living in Port Clinton, Ohio, the nearest polling station would be Cleveland(close to 80 miles away and voting hours would be the hours most people work, leading to less people voting.

Some old people in nursing homes don't bother with a drivers license, so it is important for each state to offer a low cost state ID with validation of citizenship. Perhaps a Republican Congress and President could pass a requirement for the states in 2017. Imagine having Americans back in charge?

Democrats depend on election fraud for a large portion of their votes, it's why they oppose voter ID laws so strongly. If you need an ID to purchase a firearm, it's fair to require ID in order to vote.

Different GOP States are now requiring new types of ID cards so you can vote. Don't you keep up with this type of basic, political bullsheet? It's kinda sad you don't even give a crap about what's happening in some of these critical States that may prevent people from voting.

If you are at least in your 30's, no one's asking you to present an ID to buy alcohol or cigarettes. Most poor people don't have credit cards, they don't have the money to buy plane tickets to fly anywhere, and many of them don't have bank accounts. I've never seen anyone ask for ID when people are using WIC or food stamp cards.

You have a really skewed notion of the lives of the poor.

The hysterics put up by the left about voter ID is funny. LOL Point of fact is that everyone has ID or the ability to get it. LOL

Under left-wing nut racist doctrine, blacks are not smart enough to get a photo ID.

Of course, left-wing nut racists will use any excuse to keep black people down, and keep blacks voting Democrat.

This is when the Left shows their FEAR. Fear of the Right. Because EVERYONE has an Id. And if you dont, then your Jason Bourne.

They can't do any of the things you listed. In fact this is the argument that allows the libs to cheat during election time.
