It's not so much the ID requirement that I object to, but rather the types of ID's they'll allow and won't allow.
Many college students were told they couldn't use their college photo ID to vote, even though they were citizens.
State issued ID/Driver's license should be all you need. All you need do is go to your DMV to get one. If you don't have one, get one. If you're illegal, you know the drill. It's fairly simply, Biker. Pretty harmless.
Only problem with that one is that not everyone drives, so not everyone has a driver's license, and even if you went to get one, they generally cost you 50 plus dollars, and not everyone has that in their pockets.
State issued ID's, while they cost less (around 30 bucks), again, not everyone has the ability to go to the places where they can be issued, nor do they have the cash to get one, because the money is going for stuff like rent, utilities, food, etc.
Most people who make minimum wage live paycheck to paycheck.
Me? I think that you should be able to walk up with your SSN card, license, college ID, or whatever you've got that says who you are.
I STILL have my original SSN card that was issued in 1964. It CLEARLY states on the front of the card - "For Social Security purposes only. NOT to be used for Identification"
Bet YOURS doesn't say that.....
