This Is How Silly The Challenge To The Voter ID Law Has Become
How could the NYT’s report this:
After Ms. Williams grabbed her cane that day and walked into the polling station in the lobby of her retirement home to vote, as she has done in at least the last two elections, she was barred from doing so.
The election officials at the polling place, whom she had known for years, told her she could not cast a regular ballot. They said the forms of identification she had always used ” a telephone bill, a Social Security letter with her address on it and an expired Indiana driver’s license ” were no longer valid under the voter ID law, which required a current state-issued photo identification card.
It would have been too simple to ride the elevator back to her floor, in order for her to go to her room to get her id? If she couldn’t do it herself, anyone of the floor staff would have assisted her. Instead, we need to read about how she couldn’t get a ride to the voting office to prove her identity within 10 days. Newsflash..she never had to leave her building that day!
