How tough is it, really, to get a photo ID? My mother is 89, hasn't driven in five years and we still managed to get her one. Legally.

I would suppose the other than 75% are either clueless or think voter fraud is just fine.

Doesn't make sense to me either.

Just some wild guesses...

1. people will be intimidated by the process and when asked for an ID. I presented my drivers license last time I “walk-in” voted. I have voted mail-in for several years since then. Seems like mail-in has a bigger risk of fraud.

2. people are pretty irresponsible and may forget to get an ID.

The idea — voting should be as simple and convenient as possible. OTOH: there is the risk of cheating.

Here in California a state-issued I.D. costs $26 and they have a special program for poor people so it only costs them $7 to get an I.D.
