Voter photo ID an illogical step
Thanks very much for your editorial “A botched voter ID system,” (June 6).
I am an octogenarian who has never missed an opportunity to cast my ballot since I first became of legal age to exercise the franchise. Yet, if I have to go to the inconvenience of getting a photo of myself before I will be issued a ballot at the polls, I may forego that right, privilege and, indeed, civic duty.
People of my age are exempt from having a photo on their driver’s licenses, and to require a photo ID to be eligible to vote is inconsistent. Rationale for this legislation totally escapes me.
