LOL! Oh, those poor folks!
Since when did it become a hardship to get a photo ID?
LibDorks....
Having ID is a requirement isn't it? It is needed for getting a SS card, a job, a driver's permit, school...the list is endless. If someone doesn't have ID, something is wrong.
That this thing may be declared "unconstitutional" has the filthy paw prints of the Al Qaeda Civil Liberties Union smeared all over it.
