If the possible Democratic voters can't because they aren't smart or resourceful enough to be able to get an official ID I'm not sure they are capable of even knowing who they are voting for.
No, it will affect POOR people regardless of party, but both sides have made the calculation that it's a partisan issue.
In this country, you can't get away with trying to screw black people or Muslim people or female people, but you can screw the poor with impunity until the cows come home.
Class warfare, anyone?
If I were homeless and wanted to vote you could bet your butt I'd be able to wrangle up the miniscule fee for an ID.

They are supposed to be free, right?
If not, please provide something to back your comments....
The vote is a cornor stone of democracy. Especially in this day and age where every vote counts. Requireing a legal ID would certainly eliminate many avenues of fraud. The only reason anyone would be against it is fear of a valid election.
How can anyone live today without a valid ID? How do you cash a check? Buy a drink or tobacco products? How do you buy a car? How do you sign up for gov benefits such as welfare or Social Security?
I don't need to cash no stinking check. I have plastic and I have PayPal and even some cash.
Everything I buy and sell online is paid for through PayPal.
I won't be able to renew my currently valid ID because I don't have a copy of my birth certificate. If this is so important to some people, they should be willing to provide for free the things people need to comply, otherwiuse it's an unfunded mandate.

they have to offer free ID, otherwise we are heading back to the 60's.
In a memo published by The Capital Times, a Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles official directed employees to not offer or mention the fact that state ID cards can be obtained for free. Instead, the employees are told to offer information on the voter registration cards only if the individual knows to check the appropriate box.
