Thank you it really means a lot <| sep |> yeah he settled dealing with it buy using RC ronLol I ' m just joshin '. We all know who let him down and was the ultimate cause of this . <| sep |> voter IDs in NC WERE free of chargeFree of charge is not the same as free . Packing an 80 year old lady up to get her to the DMV to wait in line for however long , only to be told that her license that has been expired for 15 years doesn ' t count as valid ID has a potentially significant cost associated with it . Then you find out that the original copy of her birth certificate was stored in a backwoods county courthouse in Mississippi that burned down in the 70 ' s , and social security office wants a copy of that , or a valid photo ID to issue her a card to replace the old illegible paper one that disintegrated in the bottom of her purse . All of this leads you down a rabbit hole of notarized affidavits and other expensive government bureaucracy , just so the old woman can continue casting a ballot like she has for the last 30 years . A lot of younger people don ' t realize how spotty the personal records of people born in the depression era US are . As each successive generation of old folks dies off , this will be less of an issue , but moving forward with universal ID laws will disenfranchise a lot of people who are natural born US citizens , and those it affects will be disproportionately poor and brown . That ' s a very unamerican thing to do .
