You have to have one for everything you do in life. From getting a place to live, to turning on electricity, to get running water, to have a phone, even to get welfare (for those "poor" people we keep hearing about).
I keep seeing posts telling me that this is hurting minorities...then somebody explain to me why minorities don't have any ID? And if they don't...how do they live with no home, no electricity, no water?
Please...somebody explain to me how that works these days.
Unless all these poor, inner city people have secret farms built in the ghetto where they get all their food and have secret water supplies that they get their water from and have built their homes with their bare hands on some secret land that nobody else owns.
Can somebody explain that to me? These poor minorities whom some of you are convinced are just so dumb and weak that they can't go get an ID...but they somehow are surviving with no electricity, water, or a home. And they are chomping at the bit to go vote on election day. lol

Here is a good story by NPR that explains who doesn't have the proper ID and why. It seems like about 11% of the adult population overall doesn't have a valid government issued picture ID. However, many of them have other ID cards that have pictures on them. For example a Costco card, a student ID card, a credit card etc. They have been able to get by using these other forms of ID. These voter ID laws won't allow those types of ID, they require a specific government issued ID.
