500,000 Americans Could Struggle to Obtain Voter ID

Nearly 500,000 eligible voters in 10 states with restrictive voter ID laws live in households without vehicles and reside at least 10 miles from an ID-issuing office open more than two days a week, a new Brennan Center for Justice study found. Because many of these voters may not have driver’s licenses — and nearly all live in rural areas with dwindling public transportation options — it could be significantly harder for them to get an ID and cast a ballot. The report undercuts the claim by many politicians that eligible voters can easily obtain a free ID to vote. In Texas, in 32 counties near the Mexico border (pictured above), there are 80,000 Hispanic eligible voters but only two ID-issuing offices open more than two days a week.

Just clicked on your posted link and IMMEDIATELY clicked off when I saw the word “justice”.

That one word tells me all I need to know.

OK, so how in hell are these people going to be tracked by ObamaCare? Also, how does one fully function in America without ID and of those without ID, what percentage actually vote?

I’d have to say - if one is functioning without ID in America, one must also not be paying attention to the issues and most likely not voting is a good thing.

You know, I wonder - if one doesn’t have ID, does one automatically get turned down for Medicaid and Food Stamps?
