Among those cited by Democrats is Mary-Jo Criswell, a 71-year-old Indianapolis Democrat, who could not vote last November because she had no driver’s license or valid passport.
She previously had used a private bank-issued card with her photo when voting. The former precinct committeewoman had difficulty rebuilding an identity trail, and still does not have a valid photo ID. Criswell said in an affidavit she felt intimidated by the burdensome bureaucracy she claims is needed to vote.
LOL-she OBVIOUSLY hasn’t been to the DMV-talk about burdensome bureacracy
71 years old and obviously on social security and medicare. Now tell me there is no ID requirement to get those benefits. Come on, how stupid do you think we are.
“The former precinct committeewoman had difficulty rebuilding an identity trail, and still does not have a valid photo ID. Criswell said in an affidavit...”
Let her try and rent a movie sometime, THEY don’t have a problem asking for ID!
my grandmother never had a drivers liscense. She still has never driven, to this day. (she’s in her 80s) Or a passport. She votes every year. Democrat, but votes nevertheless.
Faye Buis-Ewing, 72, who has been telling the media she is a 50-year resident of Indiana, at one point in the past few years also
claimed two states as her primary residence and received a homestead exemption on her property taxes in both states.
Monday night from her Florida home, Ewing said she and her husband Kenneth “winter in Florida and summer in Indiana.” She admitted to registering to vote in both states, but stressed that she¹s never voted in Florida. She also has a Florida driver’s license, but when she tried to use it as her photo ID in the Indiana elections in November 2006, poll workers wouldn’t accept it.
She is a lyar and a criminal, and this law prevented her from voting in the election when they began requiring ID.

So she spent years taking this to the supreme court, when all she had to do was exert 1/100th of the effort to get a state ID. How was she "prevented" from getting the ID in the first place? She's freakin' 71 and "can't establish" her identity? How does she prove who she is to collect her social security check, or dare I ask?
LOL. This woman could be a precinct committeewoman (organizing Democratic voters), and she could file an affidavit with the Supreme Court, but she couldn’t get a photo ID?
And yet she wants to have a say in how my tax dollars are spent?
The Mo Supremes (packed with Dems) scuttled our similar law a couple years back. Same type of provisional ballots/affidavits for voters without valid ID. We also funded free non-drivers license ID cards for those who couldnt’ afford it. IDIOT LIBERALS!
How does she cash her social security check? If it’s direct deposit, how’d she open the account? This disenfranchised stuff is crap.
Why couldn't she get her dr licence replaced, or get a picture ID from her state? I don't know about other states, but in my state, the MVD issues ID cards to: underage, elderly, any legal resident who doesn't want or need a driver's license.
After my dad passed on and I brought my elderly mother to live with my wife and I, she wasn't driving anymore, and we wanted to register her to vote in our state, so we took her to MVD, surrendered her out-of-state drivers license, and they issued her a state picture ID (which looks almost the same as a drivers license) at no charge!
Exactly, if you don’t have what it takes to prove who you are, you certainly shouldn’t be allowed to vote. No-brainer.
How does she cash checks or use a credit card when they ask for ID?
Is a drivers license good enough? It only shows residency, not citizenship. Aren't permanent alien residents allowed to get a drivers license? If so, that still doesn't make them eligible to vote until they become a citizen. How do we show proof of that besides a US birth certificate or a US passport or citizenship documents?

How does she cash a check, for example?
She could have gone and got a plain old photo ID like I had to do when my drivers license expired (long story)
This woman doesn’t know where she was born and can’t get a replacement birth certificate ?????
