I wonder if these folks will recommend pass legislation to forbid the asking for id’s to purchase beer, liquor, cigarettes, guns? How about the hardship it causes to prove I’m me when I want to write a check at Walmart, Safeway or another store or cash one at a bank?

Naw.........

Precisely, GF.

Every one of these folks uses ID every day for other things. They know how to find the SS office, the Welfare Office, the Food Stamp office, etc.

They fill out paperwork after paperwork. They bring in bills, family addresses, photos, etc., to prove who they are to collect a host of government help.

They send their kids to school, they belong to clubs and churches, they pay rent, they order mail-order supplies, they sign up for cable or dish TV, they get car insurance, they get licenses, they get a gazillion offers over the telephone.

But, they can’t be counted on to get a photo ID in order to vote.

The author of this article is nothing more than a partisan liberal who’s hacked that his hopes for illegal voting are dashed.

To piggyback on your point, all of those things you mentioned - beer, liquor, cigarettes, and guns - all cost more than the cost of an ID - drivers' license, et. al.
