There's been something nagging at me about this whole voter ID debate. The Democrats say that it would disenfranchise blacks and women and God knows who else because many of them don't have IDs.
Question: What is the ceiling on your life if you don't have an ID?
I would think that the best you could hope for would be irregular employment and housing only marginally better, if at all, than being homeless.
If that's the case, then why are we talking about whether or not these people can vote? Why is the salient feature about them how they vote? If a ton of your constituents don't have IDs, then the moral thing to do is bend Heaven and Earth to help them get IDs.
I don't expect self-interested political parties to discuss that, but I wonder why the press doesn't ask those questions when confronted with someone giving that excuse for rejecting voter ID.
