I’ve heard practically every excuse under the sun, but the one I head yesterday was a topper. “What about the 90 yr old lady who doesn’t have an ID?”

Really? She’s 90 years old and has no form of ID? How does she buy anything? She needs an ID to get cash from her bank, she will need an ID to write a check, and in many places you need to present a photo ID along with your credit card. You need to present an ID in order to open a bank account, to access your account in order to get a Debit card, and even to transfer funds between savings and checkings accounts.

You need an ID to drive a car, to get a book from your library, to get either medical, home or automobile insurance. You need an ID to apply for goverment assistance, including Social Security.

Yet, this idiot would claim that no ID is required to select the leader of the greatest nation on earth.

My mother lived to 100 and never missed voting in an election. As soon as she gave up driving, she obtained a photo ID. She took voting as a serious matter and exercised personal responsibility to ensure she could vote.
