You exaggerate the difficulty of obtaining an ID. There are certainly ways to do so without the troubles you mention.
And seriously, people, why don't citizens keep records of their citizenship on hand--such as their birth certificate? It's just common sense. If one wishes to exercise his desire to vote as a citizen of this great nation, is it really such a hardship to have--or obtain--proof of citizenship? No, and only the left is complaining and saying that it is. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If there is an ID requirement to vote (I think there should be one, incidentally,) it must be easier for citizens to obtain valid, government-issued ID. As it stands right now, citizens getting a valid ID is a huge pain and inconvenience even for those with means, and is oftentimes difficult for the elderly, or people who do not own a reliable method of transportation, or who live in areas where a DMV is not easily accessible. If I don’t have a car, and the closest DMV is 45 minutes away, I am pretty much screwed. If I live in a city and I go to a designated DMV, I don’t necessarily have four hours to kill waiting in line. If I am older, waiting four hours to fill out a pile of paperwork is, at best, a massive inconvenience. I mean, it’s a massive inconvenience for me, in my thirties/forties, to sit in that place for hours on end waiting for my number to be called. I personally have no issue with letting only American citizens vote—seems rather an obvious position, to me— but there needs to be a serious discussion had about ease of obtaining legal ID. |
