If he is confined to a wheelchair, he is eligible for an absentee ballot. Surely he knows somebody who could translate the ballot into Spanish for him.
If he has some form of transportation to the polls, why can’t he utilize the same means to go get an ID?
What prevents these concerned Democrats from picking up a few of these victims in his own car and driving them to the BMV to obtain an ID? The party can afford to pay for the ID if the person being registered is really indigent.

I agree that the "inability to obtain Voter ID" argument is a weak one. But, I'd like to answer some of the comments that have appeared in this thread with reasonable guesses:

Someone, at the home or a relative, may have power of attorney to accept any benefit payments. The home may well have evidence of citizenship in their records, so that they can vet the recepient and accept benefits on their behalf.
I have known people who were so disabled that going anywhere is a severe trial, and so having one outing a year to vote may well be the limit. Does his home have a program for doing that? They might. Just because you can do a thing, no matter how expensive or exhausing, doesn't mean it's the right thing to require someone to do.
Our government likes to have things done to their convenience, not ours. That's why damn few DMV offices are in shopping malls; most of those don't keep regular store hours. Ditto voter registration. "Oh, you can take time off from work if you really feel that voting is important." Tell that to a person who is holding down two jobs.
There is no reason that people who feel that Voter ID laws would disenfranchise voters shouldn't "vote with their time" facilitating people getting the ID. Or, better yet, sponsoring an outreach program for the DMV to visit places with collections of these people. (By the way, Republicans need to think about this, because older voters tend to be conservative.)
People can't afford an ID? Instead of sending your checks, wedding gifts, birthday gifts and spare change to Obama, you voter-ID nay-sayers, how about sending it to the DMV or wherever to cover costs for those unable to cough up the fee for the ID. There. Problem solved. All it takes is the effort to actually do something, not just yell about it. To actually put money where it can do good, and not put money in "publicity."
Not a citizen? Then go home to where you can vote, legally. And become a citizen, if you want, the right way.
