if it's as easy to obtain as you say it is and people were properly informed (something i don't trust republicans to do as their goals have nothing to do with preventing voter fraud) why would there be so many without id's and lower voter turnouts?
Ours hasn't gone into effect yet only the free id portion is in effect. The requirement isnt until 2016.
From my recollection, places that have voter id laws, turn out is actually higher than previously, soooo.
There has been both internet and tv campaigns promoting the laws passage, and it is in numerous places at the local and state BOE level.

Free!! damn.. costs $5.00 here damn tightassed farmer republicans
This was used as a direct answer to the Democrats very successful Get Out The Vote! it affects the poor and the minorities
those who don't have cars and don't need a drivers license it's going to cost not only for the license but for the state certified birth certificate as well and then for the copy.
this is and might as well be considered a poll tax.
Its sort of hard to do a lot of shit without an ID, I'm seriously dumbfounded by how many people supposedly don't have them. I understand not having a BC if your house burnt down or something, but are there really that many people who never got a birth cert? I just can't imagine not having something proving who the hell I am, and where I came from.
