| #2 Idiot. Voter registration = issue you a state-created photo ID card when you register to vote. Show that card when you vote. Its that simple. Nice thing is all the states are set up to do this already. Part of the "motor voter" laws. Make it a freebie to get the voter ID. |

| #1 Oh heck. False start. Video at link. Here is the important part: Unbelievably, the Chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice, John Tanner, contends that while it's "a shame" that elderly voters may be disenfranchised by new Photo ID restrictions at the polls because many don't have driver's licenses, minorities don't have to worry quite as much. Why? Because "minorities don't become elderly the way white people do. They die first." |
