Banning Voter ID - California legislature says "Yes."
#5
Perhaps I'm not thinking clearly, or am so far removed from the lives of other people as to not understand.  I can't envision an adult life without securing identification (just for the purposes of living  a life where I can operate in society.)  Even the homeless have IDs to receive help from the government (such as it is.)

I don't know anyone who doesn't have one.  And the only reason I can think of to say "I don't have ID" is one where I fear being identified for some reason.  And I can't really grasp the notion of not wanting an ID and still expecting to vote, or drink, or get a license for anything, or still be able to deal with a bank or an employer.

If this "not having an ID" is just an excuse to "get away with something," how would I expect that I should still able to vote, or any of the other things where a valid ID could be reasonably expected?

It feels like a theatrically contrived 'problem' where the proposed solution in California is "don't ask." 

I just don't "get it."

Can anyone make a case for ID to vote in civic elections being 'wrong' or 'oppressive' to expect?  I missed the justification that is driving this "issue."
