The New York Times reports the 6-3 decision to this controversial issue. As I understand it those who presume to represent the disadvantaged have resisted Voter Identification because they consider it an unreasonable barrier to voting access. Those supporting Voter ID maintain that in these modern times a requirement to have a photo ID is not unreasonable or unusual. Between the lines is the issue that the disadvantaged tend to vote Democratic. I tend to favor Democrats at this time but I agree with the ruling.
It seems to me that both parties might consider this a new opportunity to reach out to these disadvantaged folks and build goodwill by offering them help in getting not only the proper ID but rides to the Polling places and assistance for other necessary services.
Wouldn’t it be novel for these unfortunate folks to have the political parties competing for their hearts and minds.
