Beyond Voter ID: “Why the voters aren’t voting” in South Carolina


A WSPA video report shows the President of the Spartanburg, South Carolina NAACP going door-to-door “making sure voters know about the new Voter ID law, offering free rides to get one, even finding sponsors for people who can’t afford it.  The voter response?  ‘We haven’t seemed to have nobody interested in going out to get a picture ID.’”


 


“Identifying the people affected by the Voter ID law is the easy part – the state keeps a list of people who are registered to vote but don’t have a picture ID.  Right now that list is over 200,000 names long.  But here’s the thing:  Everyone on this list could get a picture ID without any additional paperwork.”
