Supreme Court will hear dispute over GOP legislators' defense of North Carolina voter ID law

[Lonestarblue]

1. Republicans assume that everyone drives and thus everyone has a voter ID.

Many people cannot afford a car, and they use buses and other public transportation. Obtaining a photo ID, especially if a state makes it particularly difficult, can be daunting. For example, if you cannot afford a car in my city and thus do not need a driver’s license, you take the bus to work. Ut bus routes are limited because this is Texas and Republicans don’t want public transportation. If the office you need to go to isn’t near a bus route, you’re forced to take a taxi there and back to get a photo ID. What happens if you’re too poor to afford taxis? You have no photo ID.

I suspect there are a lot of poor people in North Carolina who may not want to spend the money for a photo ID. Perhaps Democrats should work with the state to set up sites in major areas near public transportation and near places where people shop to make it easier to obtain an ID.
