Why would the poor, minorities and disabled have less of a chance of having an id?

The argument has no merit.

Presumably the disabled have access to welfare programs. That requires an id.

There is no barrier to a minority having an id, none at all.

As for the poor, is it harder for them to get a driver’s license or id? There is a cost, but do they not get one anyway, for instance, if they are poor enough to get food stamps, do they not have to produce an id to receive them?

It is in the Voter ID law that anyone who comes in to the DMV and says they can’t afford an ID, it will be provided to them paid by the “state” i.e. taxpayers of the state.

So, lack of money or disenfranchment is a moot point. The dems are just afraid they won’t be able to cheat their way through the elections.

Unfortunately, the WI Voter ID law will not be in effect yet for the Governor and senator recalls coming up soon.
