I posted what it took to get an ID in MD- $15 and a birth certificate. Most of the states that are requiring ID don't charge a dime. They just have to show up with proof of residence. But according to the frighteningly ignorant Willy the Democratic base can't make that happen. How many millions can't do this Willy? Billions? Trillions? Gillions? No fraud makes Willy sad 
Which explains why the GOP is attempting a coordinated nation-wide effort to disenfrancise millions of Americans by taking away their right to vote.
The GOP let the cat out of the bag, when attorney generals from six states, all Republican, began petitioning the Supreme Court to strike down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act.
The key provisions, which came out of the Civil Rights movement, were put in place to prevent poll taxes and literacy tests designed to keep blacks away from the polls in the Jim Crow era.
It seems that the GOP wants to bring back their own modern version of poll taxes, by petitioning the Supreme Court to make voter discrimination perfectly legal.

Dems win victory in Fed Dist Ct Ohio>on to 6th Cir.
Pa. released ID cards but of 71 DMVs only 13 are open > once a week. Takes at least 2 trips
to DMV to get one. People w no transportation or money are fucked as well as people who can't speak English.
GOP has pulled out of Pa. so they have apparently given up that state even if they win the court fight.
In SC state has moved in Fed Ct. to be relieved of Pre-clearance requirement.
Chance for that is ice-cube in hell. Fuck u Nikki Haley!
