The voter ID is a law passed to solve a non-existent problem. It is a purely partisan exercise.

That said, if we must implement it's important that it be done in such a way that it does as little as possible to discourage voter participation.

Voters should be able to apply for a photo ID at any registrar's office no matter where they live.

Voters should be able to apply for a photo ID at all hours the registrar's office is open.

Registrars should make every attempt to go out into the community to find those who need IDs and assist them.

The process should be made as simple and straightforward as possible and as non-threatening as possible.
