Not people, Democrats. Democrats complain in other states, too. And the complaints are all the same. I'm paraphrasing but it's always "our voters are too stupid or lazy to get those free IDs". And yet, those voters being called stupid and lazy by the Democratic party still vote for them. Proving the Democratic Party correct.
Or they're too poor to take time off work and have someone drive them several counties away to get one of them. Or they're college students who don't realize until too late that Texas won't accept a college ID for voting purposes. --Bob
They are not too poor. Too lazy. They figure out how to get everything else done in their life. Yeah, you can probably find that one person, but then I'll offset it by my one fraud vote.

In the college kids case, too stupid or lazy, probably both.
There's that charity I've come to expect of people who consistently vote Republican notwithstanding what Donny has done to the party.

In any event, the Fifth Circuit disagreed with you. That's why it insisted on allowing people to vote if they sign an affidavit stating that it's impractical for them to get a compliant ID. --Bob

You'd think they learned their lesson after the 2000 debacle, but no! I'm amazed that both the election supervisor and sheriff in Broward County were just removed for incompetence. Sounds like Philadelphia politics.
I know! If I could, I would lend our County Clerk and Secretary of State to Florida to help them, especially Broward County, develop an improved system.

Maybe Hick could go to Florida instead of running for President and help them out.

It's impractical = I'm lazy
