oh hell, why don't we just nationalize the entire damn ID process, DNA-embedded and all and just get it over with.

Call it "Identi-Eeze". Douglas would love it.

see, what you're missing is that the centers where one can get those IDs aren't "everywhere" like the are around Fairfax, or even Harrisonburg.

People are being told that the nearest one to them in, say, some part of Pennsylvania or North Carolina or name any other battleground state is more than 50 miles away. btw, they don't have a car, and can't take a whole day off much less shell out $50 for the bus only to be told they're missing some piece of documentation that nobody mentioned on the phone when they called to set up the appointment and the next appointment happens to be after the election's deadline in 3 weeks and...

that happens. it happens to people DAILY. until THAT is fixed, any law requiring such an ID must be considered to be discriminatory. fix the process FIRST and then I'll support the ideal intent of that law.
