Do you think Voter ID laws could violate the Americans With Disabilities Act?

[Tony_FLADEM]

I have been thinking about that lately. Many disabled people don't drive and most likely don't have a Voter ID as a result. I'm disabled and I have an ID because I am able to drive. However, I know other disabled people who don't drive and probably don't have an ID.

1. Possibly

Especially if you include elderly people among the disabled. Why in the world would someone who lives in a nursing home or in an assisted living situation renew a drivers license they once had?

Also supported living environments where transportation service is provided.

Unless a person with a disability wants to drink or drive, many have no reason to renew state IDs or even get them in the first place.

2. Definitely

I've said all along these laws will be thrown out eventually. This is just one reason.

4. Yes. A problem both for disabled people and elderly people.

5. I grew up in NYC

Manhattan to be exact. I had no need to drive, or own a car, so I had no photo ID driver's license. Imagine all the voters they could disenfrancise in LIBERAL NYC, or any BIG CITY, with that one?

6. How did you buy beers or get into strip clubs?

I didn't drive at first, but got state id. I had to or the social life wouldn't have existed.

8. I carried around my BC

Back it those days they didn't want PHOTO ID. I understand you can get a non-drivers photo ID. Of course, you have to PAY for it.

9. I tried that at first when I was 19

They said they need a picture ID, and back then I looked like I was 16. I then got it at the DMV, it wasn't that expensive.

7. Absolutely!
