Are you gonna cover the cost of the required ID? Transport for invalids to get one? Investigations of those born in foreign nations?
Wait a minute tkyrchncs,
no one pays MY gas costs to drive to the polls and vote. My polling place is at the top of hill I hate driving up, much less walking to. I can't imagine climbing that hill in a wheelchair, yet I haven't heard of any transport for handicapped people to go vote.
My grandmother is 93, can hardly walk, and her polling place is blocks away. No gives her a ride to the polls, except me.
There are all sorts of 'obstacles' to voting already. This new one doesn't seem that harsh, in perspective, does it?
You also have absentee voting. Which all of the elderly or handicap people who for some reason cannot keep an ID are still allowed to do.
If you send me a private message as to where you live I will see to it that you can reach a reliable driver for your Grandma to the polls from the Democratic Party or the Catholic (or maybe Baptist) church.
