How many examples do you need before you'll admit there is problem? You have that recent case where that woman was sentenced to 5 years, what was not highlighted is the 5 other people either convicted or awaiting trial in the same county on the same charges. Thesea are just the people that got caught and this isn't a crime like murder where you have a dead body.

Complain all you want but both sides are guilty.
I guess you must have missed the email that was circulated at the DMV here in Wisconsin that told employee's not to let people know they could get their ID for free. That story was of course exposed. So you see, in fact, they were conveniently not providing the information to people that the ID for voting purposes was free.

You specifically said they added a fee to the ID, now you're moving the goalposts. Here's that email:

While you should certainly help customers who come in asking for a free ID to check the appropriate box, you should refrain from offering the free version to custome'rs who do not ask for it.
The option for the free version would be on the form they are filling out, yes? So in fact the option for the free version will be in black in white on the form in front of them.

I responded to the bs of the first.

Why don't you accept that I responded to your first paragraph.
Oh, I didn't agree with you so my response isn't valid.

Older people don't always have the resources that young have.

Huh? I don't recall saying they added a fee, I believe I said there was a fee. Unless people knew enough that the ID should be free. I don't know what you're arguing about.

You said added a fee:

Here's the application, note the giant words at the top of the application:

All ID cards used for voting are FREE
Check the box ID for FREE on the back
This is not clear enough?

Older people don't always have the resources that young have.
So I guess you still don't have a response to the second paragraph.

Oh, oh well. Same thing. There's a fee if you don't know enough to make sure you don't get charged.

What would you suggest they do besides the big giant explanation at the top of the application that states it's free for voting purposes? LOL

In your opinion this is not enough?
