I'd be highly insulted that the VP thinks people in rural areas don't have photocopiers.
Does she think rural is that backwards ?
All I can say is bless her heart. Her research material on rural America was probably episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.

Its a darn shame they stopped sending out the Sears and Roebuck catalogues.
Hey Kamala! We have no problem making copies. Pa can hitch up the wagon and we can be in Sleepy Eye by tomorrow night. I’m sure someone in town has a copier. Actually, I’m kind of hoping they don’t, because you know what that means. Road trip to Mankato! Woohoo!
I first heard of this claim many years ago. It's always talked about, but has anyone ever actually seen or heard of someone who was unable to get an ID, or, in this case, a copy of their ID? I'm being serious. If someone were so helpless, wouldn't they be needing someone to help them merely survive and couldn't that person(s) help with the ID?
I'm aware of Kamala's angle, but I'm still just curious and want to be fair about the issue since I haven't investigated.

EDIT: Some amusing responses here.
Well I live in a rural area. Back in the 80's I worked for a government office and I had to make home visits to places the higher up state level employees were afraid to go. There were still houses with outhouses, well pumps and some with no electricity. Heck I had friends out in those hollers. Guess what, even then most of them drove so yes they had ID. Those who didnt had someone who would "carry them" where they wanted to go, grocery store, church, bank, drug store, doctor, Dairy Queen, court house, to vote, etc. Everyone had some form of ID.
My grands, my parents and all their siblings were born at home. Only one grandpa ever had a DL but all my grands were able to get a state ID and go wherever they needed to go.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering about, areas like that. Thanks for the response.
