Note: except where noted, most ID’s are good for generally 4-5 years a pop. And this info surely doesn’t completely cover if there are more provisions for Seniors and low income people. Just what I could find quick.

So, are the liberal nay-sayers and race baiters telling me that they all those “poor” people who they say will be disenfranchised because of requiring an ID in order to say “you’re damn right it’s me! See the picture?” to vote (like they don’t need the ID to do all sorts of other things) cannot get their asses off their couches which are parked in front of flat screens tuned to Oprah in paid for government housing and work for like 1 day every 4 years in order to vote?

Hell, if they cannot do that, then they are just too stupid to vote. I’d put something in about neutering them, but, then I would be accused of being mean
