"Never more than an ID from my new state."

To get your ID, you had to provide a birth certificate and a SS card (at least). Those requirements have been in place for decades (at least 40 years). So if you have a state ID, you are fine. You can register, vote, whatever - no problem.

The issue in these cases are for people who never had ID cards, or let them expire. How you function without one is beyond me, but I guess it is possible.

I want to know why the party isn't working to make it easier to get the documents necessary to get the IDs.

You glossed over the whole "killer assault rifle" line you were going down. Guess you didn't like the facts there either?

You are irrationally against voter ID because someone told you it's a republican ploy to stop Democrats from voting, without any further examination of the facts of the matter.
