About 450,000 voters in Virginia may lack the proper identification needed to cast a ballot in the November midterm elections, the Virginia State Board of Elections said Thursday.
Under a state law that took effect this year, Virginia voters must present a driver’s license or some other form of photo identification at their polling stations before they cast a vote.
Although voters who lack such proof would be allowed to fill out provisional ballots on Nov. 4, election officials hope more people will obtain state ID cards or some other valid form of identification so that their votes could be more easily counted — particularly in the event of close contests.
“It’s so much easier if there’s a live vote,” said Cameron Quinn, the voter registrar in Fairfax County, where 13,690 registered voters lack state driver’s licences.
The Virginia law that was passed last winter is part of a tide of state “voter ID” laws enacted in recent years, generating criticism from groups that argue that the laws unfairly target immigrants and low-income voters who are less likely to have a driver’s license or other form of photo ID. Of the 34 states that have passed laws requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, Virginia has among the strictest rules.

If they do then it is because they are too lazy, stupid or ignorant to get one.
I’d say they better get busy an git some ID....
if they want to vote this time.
Just use the ID used to collect welfare handouts.
So this is the number of fraudulent voters?
So when I go to the liquor store and buy my six-pack, I’m going to scream that I’m disenfranchised when I have to show ID.
lol. If only that many didn’t have a drivers license. Traffic might be a bit better. I don’t believe for a second that number. Maybe 45....of course all liberal so that makes it important.
Or they might be dead.
Require EBT cards to have a photo of the authorized user. Allow that to be used for voting.
They got their EBT cards, though. That’s the important thing.
My 18 year old got her State ID card a few years ago.
She needed it to cash checks, vote, apply for employment, open bank accounts etc.
So...why do some people think presenting ID before voting is some onerous requirement, amounting to a poll tax?
Must be the same idiotic people who consider illegal aliens to be merely “undocumented residents”.
I don’t want them to vote, because they have no right to do so, anymore than I could vote in the recent Scottish Independence vote, as a USA citizen.
welfare cards don't have pictures on them down there???
So there are 450,000 eligible voters in VA who can’t board an airplane? Buy beer? Cash a check? Visit a hospital? Buy a Playboy magazine? ...
Make that 449,999, I’m going to spend 4 hours getting it at the DMV next week.
That wouldn’t work.
One needn’t be an actual citizen to get an EBT card.
I hope Senator Pat Roberts and his wife, Franki, have their Virginia I.D.s so they can cast their vote for the Senator on Nov. 4th. Oh.....wait a minute..... they’re Kansas residents...... or not?
Well, they ax me when I buy my Night Train.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out why Democrats always oppose voter ID laws. We know Democrats never try to steal elections, right?
Or they might be dead.

Some dead people vote two or three times.
