Seriously.

Remember that time when a red state required ID to vote, and promptly shut down a bunch of DMVs in black areas? What a crazy time that was in our country.

...oh, that was this month.

Like I've said before.

It's the same old song and dance. Politicians are the master liars of our species. They're professional and very charismatic actors. Nothing more.

Where was this?

Alabama. There are some communities that have to drive 20 miles to their nearest DMV

I see. I can't say I'm surprised it's coming from bama. That's messed up. They can still vote at schools and courts right?

They aren't allowed to vote at all without a state issued ID

To be fair, there is still a location in every country for people to get a voter ID.

It's not like they'll have to travel to other cities to get one.

Because having fewer DMVs to serve the same number of people won't make it difficult for people to get an ID, right? I'm sure waiting hours to go to the DMV is exactly what people have time to be doing. If you're a poor/middle class person, you can't exactly be taking several hours off work to get an ID.

It's not just DMV's that are issuing the ID's - I believe government offices are as well.

This is just a nonissue.

Is that true? I've never heard of other offices besides the DMV issuing IDs.

i really don't see the problem of requiring a form of identification to vote. I mean how do you get through daily life without having at least some kind of ID?

Because voting isn't exactly the kind of thing to be regulated like driving a car, buying alcohol, etc.

If obtaining an ID was free and easy, I would have less of an objection to it. But the problem is that voter ID laws don't prevent voter fraud and rather keep upstanding citizens from voting. Voter fraud is such an infinitesimal occurrence, establishing voter ID laws is a waste of time.
