Someone please explain to me how or why any voting age adult in this country doesn’t have a photo ID? Also someone please explain to me why it is that minorities are less likely to have a photo ID?

And how many people really don't have IDs? One time this came up, the Dems had to use some nuns in a cloistered convent as their poster children. The primary problem is the difficulty and expense in getting a second, third or fourth ID compared to merely registering to vote extra times along with the permanent photographic record formed when the same person's photo shows up in state records a half dozen times under different names.

When it came time to take my grandfather's license from him, my mother hauled him into the DMV, handed in the license and got a state ID immediately. It wasn't very tricky.

>>>And how many people really don't have IDs? Found the following for South Carolina: A January tally by the SC Election Commission shows 178,175 voters do not own a photo ID.

This article relates the issue of obtaining an ID for older folks born in rural parts of the state that never had a birth certificate.
