Photo ID's are redundant
What the GOP fear-mongering fails to recognize is that in order to register to vote, you have to provide ID and proof of address anyway. So if you're registered, you've passed the litmus test of the "wrong-kind" of voters.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. By caving to the GOP with a "what's the big deal about ID's?", you allow them to validate the fear AND they waste our valuable tax dollar money without addressing the real problems with voting.
How much time and money is being spent on sending this message, writing this law and enforcing it? I feel like allowing the GOP to continue down this path during times with tinder-box current events and the middle class being squeezed is like propelling gay marriage to the top of the policy priorities.
