Conservatives view voting as a privilage this is the reason why it is so easy for them to take it away.

Your daughter by reaching the age of 18 gains that right.

This is why registering to vote screens out ineligable people, your daughter would need to register first. So the arguemtn for an photo ID is false on that part.

Also, the mere fact that whe we PAY for a dirvers lisence or an ID is a poll tax.
