That's a HUGE problem and reason enough to call foul.

Purposed, political disenfranchisement is not the American way.

Whoa............. why is this a huge problem?

You can't get food stamps without ID. You can't cash a check without ID.

I am confused how you see this as a huge problem? Seriously???

State ID's are based on residency, so if the voter ID's have the same requirements, it would be an unfair burden for college students.

Birth certificates can be a hassle to get through the mail.

Social Security Administration will accept College and University ID cards, along with at least one or more other documents. Most college students will leave this stuff at home with their parents, who are probably not going to be so quick to send them to their 19 year old Joey's and Sally's.


College students who live in Texas will probably not have the required documents to verify residency-- i.e. utility bills and etc. If voter ID cards use the same criterion, then mmany of not most college students would be immediately disenfranchised in their abilities to participate in the democratic process on ANY level.

I had to provide a birth certificate for my son to play baseball, I don't think it is too much to ask that you present ID to vote. College students, like my son, can register to vote in their home state if they chose to vote in the state they go to college they can provide the proper documents to vote.

I recall having to pop out a drivers license in Tx and they checked my name off a list at the polling place.

Thought that was a standard practice.
