Photo ID for voting in GA
"A new voter-identification law in Georgia that recently was approved by the Justice Department has angered civil rights groups, which say it will disenfranchise blacks, the elderly and rural voters.
State legislators said the new law requiring voters to present a photo identification, such as a driver's license or a state school ID, will prevent voter fraud and keep noncitizens from voting."
QUESTION: How does a photo ID requirement prevent anybody who is eligible to vote from voting? Are the critics of the photo ID requirement implying by their criticism that blacks, the elderly and rural voters are too stupid, lazy, or incapable of getting a photo ID, or that they are not photogenic enough?
Why isn't this a requirement mandated at a federal level? What's wrong with having more valid elections, or to put it another way, why would the Democrats object? Do they have a problem, inherently, with valid elections?
