don't make it harder than it has to be

heard on the news that indiana requires registered voters to bring photo id to the polling place. some lawmakers there want this rule or law [not sure exactly what it is] repealed b/c they say it is too difficult for underpriviledged folks to get a photo id. indiana gives photo id's for free - if you don't have a driver's license, you can get a free photo id by bringing a birth certificate to the id place. so, they are giving them away, see, for free. you really cannot get much easier than free. of course, they have to get themselves to the id place, but fashizzle, they can get everyfreakinwhere else they want to get to. it's not like they can mail you a photo id. geeyah.

my old man said all voter id cards should have pix on them and also a bar code. when you get to the polling place, you'd scan the bar code, and the computer would bring up your photo for the polling place volunteer to check & be sure it's really you, and then it would bring up your name, address, etc., for you to sign in, and then you could vote right there, too. easy-peasy-lemon-squeesy.
