well I would think that this cuts both ways, if I understand you right just because dem voters are less liable to have an ID doesn't mean its okay no matter the reason, I would think. I for one am in favor of a national id. We crossed that road when we went to SS #’s etc. imho.
Besides , I think that’s kind of whacked, I mean, if "lower class folks" don't have one, I find that contrary to some of the stories I read and some of the opinons I have seen here at the forum, about the lower classes having to use those early pay day lending stores, cashing SSI or other gov. checks, foodstamps etc.....
In then end I think its prudent to demand a viable ID to vote.
