Im sure my ignorance is going to show here..but I'm going to ask anyway.....If these people that are so adamant to vote...cant/wont get a id card to show at the polls....cant they just say they are going to be out of town and vote by absentee ballot?
Ok I kinda answered my own question....these are the rules for TN, and it seems the "old and infirm" can vote by absentee with no issues
