From the article you linked: If used on a much broader scale, a voter ID requirement would be a "form of intimidation'' to thousands of Mississippi voters, Dowdy said."

Now what the heck does that mean? You have to show ID to cash a check, but it's intimidating to have to prove who you are when voting. This is such a crock.

You have to have a driver's license to drive a car, cash a check, sometimes even to use a credit card, to buy alcohol and sometimes cigarettes, to cross the Mexican or Canadian border, to enter a bar/nightclub etc. but it is an undue hardship to expect every adult to have a driver's license or some other sort of state issued picture ID.
