In many cases (homeless/poor/elderly/rural) obtaining a picture ID is very difficult. Check out this map to see which states demand one in order to vote; it’s voter suppression when someone unable to obtain a picture ID is kept out of the voting franchise. ncsl.org/research/elections-…

So those same people are not able to drive a car, buy Sudafed, get into the Democrat or Republican Convention, write a check, use a debit card, have a bank account, enroll in school or apply for govt benefits. But if they can’t get an ID let’s make sure they have get one!

They’re citizens too, Danny!!

The only reason to be opposed to voter ID is so a non citizen can vote. If people can register themselves to vote they can get an ID. If a census can be taken an ID can be provided. Voting should be a protected event in a democracy. As much fraud as possible should be prevented

"The only reason to be opposed to voter ID is so a non citizen can vote." Simply not true, Danny! Not opposed to an ID, just to a picture requirement because for more people than you might realize that is NOT easy to obtain. Those people ARE citizens, no different than you or me.

Marianne, of course, every citizen has right to vote. But the Dems sound disingenuous when States are providing none citizens with IDs. Everyone who needs an ID can get one. Dems believe illegal immigrants should vote. Am I wrong?

If you’re let’s say an elderly person living in a rural area and you don’t drive, then yes being asked to procure a picture ID can be a hardship. Those kinds of things. It shouldn’t be a Left-Right issue that we want people to vote.
