People
say we need one, but we did fine without one for a very long time.
I was in my twenties, at least, before my driver's license had a photo.
I never ran over a single person, regardless of how many cars I wrecked.
I've voted in Massachusetts since I was 21/22 years old in 1968.
The next time they ask me for a photo ID will be the first,
and nobody has ever complained about election fraud in Massachusetts to my recollection.
They didn't ask for a photo ID when I registered to vote in City Hall.
I doubt if the nice ladies behind the counter were boxing fans who happened to recognize me,
but I suppose I can't swear to it either way.
They didn't ask me for a photo ID when I was eighteen and registered for the draft, either. [Bitches.

I do remember that I was registered as a Democrat without having to say anything,
but those were more civilized times.
I don't get it, but I have strong suspicions that certain Red States are trying to stay Red by suppressing the vote,
and making the acquisition of photo IDs easier for the desired voters and harder for the less welcome ones.
That's my suspicion, but
I'm 77.
I'm not hitting the road to do hands on research.
