In reply to the discussion: Former U.S. Marine Turned Away From TN Poll For Refusing to Present Photo ID Under New GOP Law [View all]BradBlog
(2,938 posts)69. Just FYI...
...I can't remember the last time I had to show my ID to enjoy the PRIVILEGE (not the RIGHT, like voting is) of buying alchohol.
BTW, there are already ID requirements in most states. Reasonable ones allowing for drivers license or bank statement or check stub or voter registration card, etc. That's not the problem. It's the draconian, narrow, state-issued Photo ID which many people do not have, that is the problem.
Understand the problem -- and the scam ---- yet? Or you just don't care?

It is more important, which is why it should not be restricted to people with money.

That's a ridiculous scenario. Do you vote very often? Can you picture that happening in your polling
