If these folks can’t even get to the dmv for an ID, how were they going to get to the polls?

10 miles out, no vehicle. Likely voter? I think not.

Many of these voters may not have driver’s licenses.

If they can get to town for food and medicine they can obtain an ID.

How about this as a great PR stunt that works to neutralize the opposition to IDs required for voting: Conservatives organize to get these “no ID” voters to the government offices where ID can be issued.

After they set up the program they could offer to partner with the liberal groups for greater outreach.

Shouldn’t be too hard - a phone number where someone who needs an ID can leave a message. IF anyone calls a volunteer can pick them up, drive them in and get them home.
I’d be game to ferry a couple “no ID” old folk around - IF there actually are any.

Nearly 500,000 eligible voters in 10 states with restrictive voter ID laws live in households without vehicles and reside at least 10 miles from an ID-issuing office open more than two days a week

So.....at some point, over the course of an entire year, they can't walk, run, ride a bus, take a taxi, ride a bike, hitch a ride, or find anyone to drive them to an ID office?

If something as simple as getting an ID over the course of an entire year (or more, figure most people only vote every 4 years) represents too much of a burden, then they probably don't need to vote, either.

What a crock of CRAP!

Simple solutions - take a bus, call a relative for a ride, take a cab, ask your church for help, etc.

Pitiful, just pitiful. Frankly, if someone is too stupid to go 10 miles or more to a DMV doesn’t need to vote.

And why is it always “seniors and minorities”? Just another left wing attack on them if you ask me.

And why don’t these “progressives” in cities just let the “senior” call them and they’ll bring the camera on a laptop and come to them. Oh, that would make too much sense.

Face it lefties, the days of ballot box stuffing are coming to an end.

If they are so stupid or out of it that they cannot manage to get a photo ID.....Then they should not be voting anyway because they are moochers. Eating my tax dollars.

Most states will even help you get a photo ID just to be accommodating so no excuses for not having photo ID

OK, so how in hell are these people going to be tracked by ObamaCare? Also, how does one fully function in America without ID and of those without ID, what percentage actually vote?

I’d have to say - if one is functioning without ID in America, one must also not be paying attention to the issues and most likely not voting is a good thing.

You know, I wonder - if one doesn’t have ID, does one automatically get turned down for Medicaid and Food Stamps?
