(11,243 posts)In some states, ID is not required for absentee ballots. This is infuriating because absentee is the most prone to fraud, but because Republican voters often use this method, the GOP tries to avoid limitations. But that said, it means that we can use it too. It's easier to get an absentee ballot than a picture ID.
In states where they require ID for all voters, there has to be a free option, otherwise it is considered a poll tax. Many states then understaff DMVs and they are usually in places that are hard to get to if you don't have a car. Because WHY would you go to DMV if you don't have a car?
One of the problems is that the laws are always in flux. One court overturns, then on appeal, the next court upholds and then it gets appealed again. Texas just got overturned this week. It is hard to have a game plan since we never know what the law is going to be from week to week.
