And, what's the big deal? You have to have a photo ID for everyday activities -- get on a plane, cash a check, use a credit card. Calling it some sort of "hateful" Republican conspiracy is a huge deception and, well, stupid.
Another Newsflash: photo ID laws have, without a doubt, been used by the GOP to disenfranchise Democratic constituencies..minorities, poor people etc. Why do you think in state after state it is the Republicans pushing for these laws? They're certainly not doing as a public service.

Please prove to me that the "poor" and "minorities" can't get photo IDs in their state.

Oh, and since when did y'all worry about the poor? Weren't you one of those calling Hillary's poor voters "trailer trash?" Now you want the "poor vote" for Obama?! Wow, that takes nerve. Even the "poor" will see through it.
