insuring everyone who votes has franchise (the right to vote in that jurisdiction) and and accountable vote process is a laudable goal.

I also think that photo ID is not an opressive burden, provided the gov makes them available at neglible cost or free with easy access. That appears to be the target of some of the jurisdictions going that way. Its not just repukes that are behind this. I also see it as a great opportunity to get out the vote, as in take you elderly neighbor to get an ID and apply for a permanent absentee ballot.

I believe that throwing the race or class card on the table is uncalled for. What we should be doing if supporting the goal of a clean vote, and if there are less onerous ways to make that happen proposing them.

Not sure what that has to do with me becoming old or poor. I am getting old and will have kids in college soon, so financial hard times are right around the corner...
