I hear points like this all of the time, but if this is the case, how does she shop, buy gas, go out? How did dhe get here credit cards, drivers license, clothes, etc in the first place? She obviously was able to go out? How does anyone do anything for that matter? How do people get Welfare, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid? These task either require a photo ID or the ability to go out or both. The bottom line fact is there is absolutely nothing you can do in this life without a photo ID....except apparently vote.
Bottom Line: Requiring photo ID’s protects the rights of the voters. If you don’t have an ID, it’s because you don’t want one or you are not legally entitled to one.
She rarely goes out. My brother in law lives there and takes care of everything you mentioned. She has problem with legal papers but as she started getting much of which you speak BEFORE there was such need for photo ID, she just coasts along. She has enablers in the person of my other inlaws, my wife, and a family member with a different last name who is a notary.
I do agree that voting should require a photo ID. I do not like the idea, though, of the government spying on everything I do by issuing me some sort of national ID. I no longer give doctors my SS number and tell them flat out I do not trust them or anyone having it.
