A problem is that a fair number of homeless do not want to live in an apartment of any sort.

I really don't understand this. Racially motivated? Requiring presenting an ID is racist? 

An ID is required for practically ANYTHING in life. An acceptable ID is very easy to get.

I've  always had to show my ID when I vote.  I didn't know there was any other way until the past decade or so when I started hearing of protests over it.

Is it free?
Can they send it to you?
If not, it's not easy to get if you work all day and can't afford to take any time off.  
Duh.

If you have a Georgia Drivers License number or ID card issued by the GA Department of Driver Services with a signature on file with DDS, you can register to vote online!

If you are a first time voter, and returning the registration form by mail, you must submit one form of ID below unless you provide your Georgia's driver's license/ID number (or the last 4 digits of your social security number if you do not have a driver's license/ID number) on the form and your ID is verified with a state database, or you are entitled to vote by absentee ballot under the Uniform and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting act.
Acceptable items of ID are:
  • Valid Georgia driver's license
  • Copy of a current and valid ID
  • Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address
You can register by mailing a copy of your identification with your voter registration application; providing a copy of your identification to the registrar during the absentee voting process; or by showing one of the pieces of acceptable identification when voting at your polling place.


This is the Georgia law, it seems to provide a pretty reasonable alternative to getting said photo ID.

Duh.
My experience has been in Illinois, Wisconsin and Florida.

Generally, they cost $10-25.

For renewals, generally Yes. In some states, you can do everything online, including new applications.

Many facilities are open on weekends. Of course, to get a job, most places require an ID...

Duh is right.

Requiring an ID to validate who you are.  Interesting.  To drive a car.  To purchase alcohol or tobacco. To join the military. To check in to the majority of hospitals or doctors offices.  The list is virtually endless.

But not to vote.  You just have to laugh.

Why debate it badge.  It’s just further evidence of the lunacy that surrounds us.

The best part of it is- virtually nobody pushing that narrative- that is racist.l, actually believes it. Nobody.

We have Jim Crow II here, though the turnout in the last election set records, probably because only white people could vote.

My opinion on this is that it is a partisan talking point, just as there is one on the Right as well.  It's something claimed to divide people into groups and get them incensed.

It should not be, like so many other fabricated "issues" we have flying around out there.

I know I'm not incensed. Flabbergasted is more like it.

Obtaining an ID isn't as easy as many would like

most people like simply pushing the "Easy Button" from Staples

how easy is it to get an "easy Button" from Staples?  I don't have one.

I'd guess life would be more difficult w/o an ID.

More difficult than the effort to get an ID

people that would rather make life difficult instead of making the effort to get an ID......... Fing DUH!
