97-year-old woman in Arizona falls victim to state’s stringent voter ID law.»

A 97-year-old Arizona woman who has voted in every election since 1933 says she won’t be able to vote in November, due to the state’s stringent voter ID law that requires proof of citizenship for those registering to vote and a photo ID when voting. Shirley Preiss was born in 1910 in Kentucky, before the state issued birth certificates. She has no driver’s license or passport. “Preiss said for someone who once lived in a time when women could not vote, the law is a step backwards.”

republicans don't mind, the more people they can keep from voting, the better their chances.  That's why they push these laws among a dozen other techniques to do exactly that.  They know if all the people who can and are willing to vote got to vote, republicans would never win an election   mostly true!
