innerslytherinSomeone I greatly respect just criticized my state for it's "backward" and "disenfranchising" behaviour regarding voter laws. I didn't want to start shit with this person, because...well, I'm too tired. But I had to get this out somewhere.
I just have to say that as an Indiana resident, I'm very glad I have to show ID to vote. I don't want anyone else going in and claiming my name to vote. (Granted, I live in a small community where no one could pretend to be me, but the principal is the same.) And the state is issuing free photo IDs, so it is NOT disenfranchising anyone. For people who say they have no way to get to the BMV to get their ID...well, how the bloody HELL are they getting to the voting places then, eh?
And on that second cranky note of the day, I'm going to bed. My room is freezing and the quilt looks very warm.
