You need a photo ID for... legal employment cashing a check opening a back account receiving social welfare benefits Yeah. I'd say you're right. And instead of focusing on why people don't have ID's and getting them this necessary instrument (maybe by supporting this voter ID law that subsidizes ID's), Democrats want to say wah! people don't have ID's so they're being disenfranchised. My brain is struggling to comprehend the Democratic position and I just can't. On facebook, I get called racist.
