This is what it’s like to try to get a Voter ID when you’re disabled, poor or don’t drive

I know it sounds like common sense to some people. But, if people want to give this issue serious consideration, they can't overlook the distinction between the state issued photo ID some states now require as documentation of one's identity in order to vote and proof of identity.

"He brought with him his expired driver’s license, his birth certificate, his voter registration card, and other documentation, but none were sufficient under Texas’s new photo ID requirement."

Then again, that is something that is definitely NOT overlooked by the republicans.
