re: #9 wrenchwench

Nobody cared how hard it was for poor people to live without ID until they were accused of disenfranchising voters by requiring ID.

Seems a shame the electoral side gets so much more attention than the day to day side of the ID issue. And yes since picture ID is actually required in so many places it should be freely available to the poor. Maybe those that lose their DL should have the cost of state ID added to their penalty so theyu still have ID for all those ordinary transactions.
