Because you had one. I just showed my license last Tuesday to vote in the primary. But if I didn't have it with me, I would have been allowed to vote.

Wait until someone tells grandma who has lived in the same house for decades, who knows the poll workers, who has voted in that precinct her entire life that she can't vote this time because she stopped driving 2 years ago and her license is expired and no, she didn't need to go get a new non-driver photo ID so doesn't have anything.

The point is not the photo ID. The point is making it deliberately more difficult than it is now to be able to vote, by changing the voting laws to make them more restrictive, and the deliberate way it is being done is to disenfranchise the poor and non-whites, students, the elderly. It's disgusting.
