Across the country, as many as 20 million people lack such identification, most of them minorities and the elderly who don't have drivers' licenses or passports and are unable to afford the cost of obtaining documentation to apply for such identification, advocacy groups say. Then how on earth can they go down and vote in the first place???????????

They need an ID to claim their welfare benefits, their medical care, their foodstamps, enroll their kids in public school, etc. They have IDs. The Dims have their collective panties in a wad because requiring a valid ID will cut down on voter fraud, and the Dims cannot win without fraud.

It's more than how do they get to the voting booth in the first place. Citizens, even those who do not have drivers licenses, need photo ID to cash a government check, that means welfare and SS. The only time a photo id is not needed is in banks who already know the person because they are long time customers. Not only that, photo ID’s are free or at most, they cost a couple dollars in some places.
