Hmmm. Well I’m told that North Carolina was like that for a while and the citizens here got fed up with it.
Y’all need to prove - via Social Security Card or certified birth certificate AND a copy of a deed, or lease and at least one utility bill in your name at that address to get a drivers license down here. First time I registered to vote I had to show them all of that to get a new photo ID (I have a “pedestrians license” my name for a valid N.C. photo ID Card cause I can no longer drive and to get a driver’s license in N.C. you have to have proof that you have auto insurance, even if you don’t own an automobile).
And I can’t for the life of me think of ONE VALID reason not to have voter photo ID - driver’s license (which has your addy on it) or pedestrian’s license.
Crap you have to have that just to buy beer down here, why not for voting?

We have a voter ID law coming up on referendum vote. I have no doubt that it will pass overwhelmingly.
