In reality
Having a driver's license or photo identification card is commonplace for most Americans, but about 11 percent of adult citizens — more than 21 million people — lack a valid, government-issued photo ID, according to a study by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law.
Some older citizens lack a birth certificate, my father was one such person, he always voted.
But as I said before its NOT about the ID its about what happens when a women presents her ID.

She couldn't prove the letter M on her drivers license stood for her maiden name.
This practice is on the rise again....

If we were living in Texas in a retirement community our community id like The Villages ID is NOT an acceptable ID for voting even though it includes a picture.
Please try and understand what the problem really is! |
Every state DMV/DOT has photo ID's available. Any state requiring a voter ID, will provide a photo ID. This is not a difficult issue. This is just an issue because liberals wish to make it an issue. They seem to be afraid that if there is a voter ID requirement, many folks won't be able to vote illegally. Such as underage voting, felony voting, voting twice (happens all the time), voting in the wrong jurisdiction, etc. And yet, they have insisted falsely that this requirement disenfranchises minorities. As if minorities are less intelligent, less able to obtain an ID, legitimately.
