How do people bank or gain employment without a basic ID? Even Government benefits require some form of ID. I think this is just an excuse.

I think even those arguing against having to show an ID to vote, know they are wrong. It's just another talking point to keep everyone at each others throats, or a product of the people who think people here illegally should vote to benefit their side.
Both parties have ridiculous nonsense to keep people divided. It's the division they truly want.
It makes zero sense to be opposed to voters showing ID. It's a false unwinnable argument to make and the racist crap is just the knee jerk response when someone is trying to defend an indefensible, illogical position. Those kinds of responses are fed to them by their party leaders, who know how nuts that position is.
Both sides do this sort of thing.

How can there be millions of people too poor to go and get government benefits and all that sort of assistance, and will have the mobility / ID / Internet to get it, and would have the mobility and communications to get out to vote, but not being able to get an ID???
That whole argument just sounds insane to me.
