The Mississippi Secretary of State’s new outreach program, designed to assist those who might need help getting photo voter identification, has only received a few responses in its first two weeks.
Is there really a “photo ID gap” or do the healthy turnout statistics and proven ability of Georgia (and Indiana) Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics to obtain photo identification dispel the myth of any discriminatory photo ID gap? The lukewarm response by Mississippi citizens to acquire free photo identification raises serious doubts to the claims of a great divide and need among the citizenry.
