NEW YORK—The Trump administration and its radical right foot-soldiers in the federal government and in the states are undertaking a comprehensive scheme to undermine future state and federal elections, in effect rigging the rolls to keep themselves in power no matter what the voters decide.
It’s because we don’t have a FREE federal ID. There is no mechanism by which someone with no money can get any identification paperwork. If that were possible, I agree requiring an ID would be good, but until then it just weeds out the poorest.
you guys have to pay for your government ID? wtf?
Yes. Yes we do. Passport costs money. Driver’s license costs money. Green card costs money. Getting to any of these places that distribute them costs money and you need like 4-5 different documents to prove who you are (other IDs, bills with your residence, etc).
All of that is probably the “easy” stuff to get.
