I have no problem with voter ID requirements, but if you’re going to have them, the government needs to go all out to make sure everyone that is eligible has one. You’d like to think that it would be a no-brainer that every eligible adult should vote. Other countries even mandate it, or the non-voting citizen gets penalized. But of course, in the U.S. – supposedly the world leader in democracy – ruthless political operators will use any means necessary to gain an unfair advantage. (Incidentally, if we look at gerrymandering, Illinois Democrats have done this for years.)
