I don't know anything about Virginia, but based on your comment alone I see clearly what the problem is. What you described is a system that disenfranchises everyone that satisfies tree simple rules: doesn't drive, don't travel internationally, and don't work for a large company. E.g. urban poor service-industry worker (outside of chains, no restaurant issues employer IDs).

E.g. urban poor service-industry worker (outside of chains, no restaurant issues employer IDs). If you took a few moments to look up our voter ID requirements, you'd find that your characterization is totally unfair and inaccurate. We also accept utility bills, government checks (i.e., for those on government assistance), and a signed affidavit saying you have an ID. I'm a Virginia homer through and through; I think we do voter ID the right way. https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/formswarehouse/voter-id/outreach-materials/documents/Voter-Identification-Chart-Rev-4-28-21.pdf https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/formswarehouse/vote...
- nradov 5y agoAny citizen or legal resident can obtain a state Real ID compliant card even if they don't drive, travel, or work. Most states offer reduced or free fees for low income individuals. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/identification-id-cards/ https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification...
- yardie 5y agoIf voting is a right and voting requires ID then it should be on the government to cover the costs of providing that burden.
