The House bill that was passed said in lieu of government ID, a sworn affidavit could be used for voter identification. There are many elderly people who don't have those forms. I personally know of people who immigrated to the US in the 70s that don't have many of their forms, but are US citizens. They have a social security card (Uncle Sam always collects) but do not have drivers licensees. They don't want to go through the hassle of going to the DMV to prove their citizenship to vote, and then after proving it, pay the fees associated with it.
Yes, we are playing twenty questions.
How many states only let you vote with a driver's license and no other form of photo ID?
How many states even require photo ID?
If they don't want to pay ten dollars (the fee in my state, I know it may differ in others) to get a photo ID do they really want to vote all that badly?
Many states just ask you to sign an affidavit of identity. Do they just not want to sign their name?
Many states just ask to see your social security card. Do they just not want to go to the trouble to take it out?
Maybe this isn't the problem that it is made out to be but voter fraud is.
