Policies should not be set based on examples of one!

My concern is with requiring a PHOTO idea which disproportionately might impact minorities and elderly.
I have no problems with requiring some form of ID...most states allow bank statements, utility bills. etc.
But that still doesnt address the issue of the homeless...who regardless of their economic status, should have the right to vote.

I don't understand how it can impact elderly disproportionately. There are NGO programs that drive them around for any errands that they may have.
Minorities? why? how come? Because there is no DMV?
Using a utility bill? really? what about the rest of the household?
