Clearly a lie, since the lack of a photo ID *does* prevent them from voting. Heck, that is why it is being rejected.

. Voting is a constitutionally protected right.
If you provide a ride then you also have to provide the cost of the birth certificate and find a way to make sure that people who used family bibles etc as documentation are still permitted to vote and receive the same id. You have to make sure that the process is swift and easy. The right to vote is a right ... and of course you want to make sure that more and more citizens are enfranchised not disenfranchised.

e which is used to get your DMV ID well I know it cost me 55 dollars.
You can use a passport, that is 140 dollars and you need to have a birth certificate. And this is where it becomes difficult for students, the elderly, and people on fixed incomes.
It also changes the standard. You know many people in rural areas and people who were not born in hospitals used the family bible as a record for births and deaths but that is no longer considered a valid document.
Why any of this be conflict of interest or indicative of being on the government dole? Nonsense. We have a Constitutionally protected right to vote. And, if you want to change the Constitution you set a precedent. A slippery slope that will permit people to play with other parts of the Constitution.

s to meeting the requirements for the picture ID that is the problem. Most states now require a birth certificate. Many states have recent requirement that to get a birth certificate you have to have a picture ID. BINGO.....NO BIRTH CERTIVICATE FOR YOU....NO PICTURE ID FOR YOU.

There were some nuns in South Bend, Indiana, who were denied the right to vote in 2008because they lacked photo IDs. Are you going to say that they don't participate in society? I think you're just revealing your ignorance.

od in Seattle Washington....my voter registration card is good enough. the irony of the Republican party worried about voter fraud is really amazing. In places where it is close the Repubs have already played it dirty....Florida and Ohio come to mind....in Ohio closing early and closing because of machine malfunction! ? gimme a break. No what we are seeing is the fact that Hispanic and Black voters are probably not going to vote Republican and starting this year whites are a minority in America. The only avenue for the white minority/repubs is voter disenfranchisement!

e that most states now require before issuing a picture ID. In other words you have to have a picture ID to get a picture ID. No American should ever have their right to vote taken away from them. And, these new voter ID laws do just that to millions of Americans.

This stuff isn't occuring in 1963, but now in 2011 and in 2012. This is in our generation and people have the nerve to say get over it (or it's a new day). It hasn't been a new day when stuff like this is occuring.

"folks have ID's, and they are readily available for qualified folks."
That's what they want you to believe. Wisconsin Gov. Walker is reducing the hours at many DMV offices, making it tougher to get the IDs. Many people have jobs that won't let them take the time off to get new IDs.
"Anyone trying to say that folks shouldn't have to prove they are eligible to vote, is purporting fraud over a right that many folks have died defending.
