That it will be a massive problem for many people isn’t conjecture, it’s documented fact. To get a driver’s license in most states, you need a birth certificate. What if you don’t have one? This will do NOTHING to prevent the bogeyman of “voter fraud.” In every state these racist laws were promoted, they were asked to show this “fraud,” and not a single case was presented. This is about keeping black people from voting. By the way, even for those who can get this ID, it comes with a cost, and the SCOTUS has already said paying to vote is unconstitutional. These laws are not just an insult to justice, but are part of a long-standing and deeply unAmerican move on the part of the right and the GOP to prevent blacks, hispanics, and poor people from voting. Laws against felons who have completed their sentences, these voter ID laws, the lynching of ACORN, it’s all about the same thing that led to the murder of civil rights workers 50 years ago…you will not allow blacks to vote. Doonsbury is right. This is Jim Crow. Of course Jim Crow isn’t “back”, it never left.
