South Carolina experience (our voter ID law was shot down by the Just Us Dept):
Governor Nikki Haley, January, 2012:
We had an 800 number. We opened the lines for two weeks. We said anybody that needs a ride to the Motor Vehicles, we will take you. Well help you get the ID that you need.
And the people who were against this said there are thousands and thousands of people that cant get to the DMV. Do you know how many people actually got rides? Less than 30 across the entire state got rides to get picture ID.
So what we are saying is we passed this as a state for the will of the people. We passed it in good faith. We have continued to show good faith in making sure that we have every individual that votes.
Heck, let’s go one step further. Draft up a law that allows them to cast a provisional ballot without photo ID, put them on a list of people that need assistance getting to the DMV, and have them pick a time in the next 2 weeks to get picked up and driven there. Don’t count their ballot until they make the appointment and obtain ID.
That would be no less constitutional than the current system of letting voters who are not registered cast a provisional ballot, and only counting it if their registration information is confirmed after the election.
