Framing the Photo I.D. Question
Are smoking, drinking, playing the lottery -- all of which require photo I.D. to transact -- more critical than keeping the vote count honest and verifiable?
New York State Assembly member Dr. Steve Katz (District 99) has been taken to task by opponents of his proposal that voters must produce a picture I. D. to prove who they are before casting a ballot.
Objections are that it would stigmatize the elderly, poor and minorities who may not have or cannot afford a photo I.D. Apparently, they didn’t get the memo that a photo I.D. can be acquired at the Department of Motor Vehicles for under 10 bucks, it's valid for 5 years.
If we are to believe these critics, Dr. Katz wants to deprive the elderly, poor and minorities of the right to vote. However, voter fraud makes a mockery of that right.
