I don't know what a payday lendor is. A place to cash a check? Don't you need some kind of id to do that?

Just as you don't know, I don't know what they requre. The point is people live off the grid or live differently from you and I. A lot of people don't have bank accts., make so little $ they might not file taxes, etc.

" A lot of people don't have bank accts"

Then in order to cash checks, they need an id. Never heard of a place that cashes checks without an id.

"The point is people live off the grid "

True. And here in CT, every single one of those people (at least until recently, maybe it changed?), has to get to their town hall to register to vote. If they can do that, maybe they can get an id.

Paul, what if those people show up to vote, to find out that someone else voted in their name? Are they better served that way? It's designed to protect the integrity of the process. At least in theory. If, in practice, people of one demographic are more turned off by voting requirements that apply to us all - that's their choice.

And you keep quoting that guy who said that voter ids woul dgive PA to Romney? Well, Romney didn't win PA in 2012. So maybe that guy isn't as credible as a source on these things, as you think he is.
