Photo ID for Voting Not Needed for Absentee Ballots
 

I cannot understand why a photo ID is necessary if the voting disticts mail out a Voter Registration Cards to everyone. A photo ID is not necessary for sending in Absentee Ballots. Why make seniors, those with physical handicaps, and those from rural areas undergo this unnecessary and costly charade? If the state demands this discrimination, then the state should have to pay those who do not have a picture ID driver's license and are eligible to vote.
