Voter ID laws disproportionately burden those who don't currently possess photo IDs and don't need them for any other purpose for voting. This group of citizens is overwhelmingly poor and disproportionately African American and Latino.
@WeighedDown I disagree with that statement due to the fact that I've taken thousands of rental applications for rent and know otherwise. And yes. It was in a major urban area. 80% of them were non white and of the few that claimed they didn't a check with DMV revealed they did. They just wanted to alter something about their real identity to trick the application process into looking extra good on their submitted form. I've seen social service picture IDs, School IDs, Country IDs, State IDs, Work IDs, City employee IDs, Military IDs, as well as neighboring state and federal IDs.
After over 45 years I've been deprived of coming across a single adult that claimed never to have had identification
@SteelHands sure you have I seen a ufo too, I mean there is no way you can prove I didn't and it benefits my position as Mulder to say I did but it could just be a lie. Plus the DMV has a record of who they gave id's to but no way of knowing if those people still have those ids
@SteelHands I get food stamps that's how I live but other than that slight government assistance I have nothing, it's in some people's best interest if people like me don't get to vote so they figure out ways to keep us from it
@SteelHands i have a food stamp card but to get it all I needed was my ssn number not the physical ssn card and a food stamp card is not a form of picture identification,,,so it has to be you who is uninformed on what it takes to get foodstamps
@WeighedDown SSN card isn't enough to open a county human services assustance case. I know the law. I've been involved in social services recipient rights cases. In order to qualify for even food stamp program benefits you need to provide ID.
Your food stamp (Quest card) isn't an ID just like a credit card isn't a ID, so you don't need to tell me that either.
@SteelHands I needed no id to get my food stamps all I needed was my ssn and an income statement or lack there of in my case, proof of residency and a list of people who live with me
@SteelHands say what you want but I have not had an id or ssn card in years and still I have food stamps all I needed was my number never even had to physically go to dhs sent my application in and had a phone interview and was approved for food stamps for a year. But I mean you probably have not ever applied so of course you don't know, but I have had food stamps many times and never once needed an id, welfare may be different wouldn't know snap is not the same welfare, if I was gonna lie though it wouldn't be about this I would say I had a good job or something.
