lol Dems are so desperate for voters, that they even bus them to the polling booths.
Or if they are NAACP leaders, even fill out illegal absentee ballots for people. Awful nice of them.

Nobody that matters wrote: Requiring IDs to vote should also require that a no fee photo ID be available.
And in every instance where there is a law requiring a valid government issued photo-ID be presented at the polls there is, in that same law, a provision for obtaining one free of charge as well as a provision that allows for the casting of a provisional ballot should the voter show up without the necessary identification. You won't hear the "progressives" acknowledge that reality though - it doesn't fit with their Fear & Smear demagoguery very well.
You all think it's just a matter of walking into a DMV and asking for a voter photo ID, it's not so easy as it sounds. My mom is trying to get one in Ohio, not necessarily for voting, but she gave up her drivers license and wants some kind of photo ID. So far it has been 3 weeks, and 2 trips to the DMV, not all that easy for a 95 yr old woman who doesn't drive. Sure they will give it to her free, but two taxi trips, waiting in long lines on 2 bad knees, and the hassle have about convinced her it's not worth it.
