The NY Times has done a hit piece on the Photo ID legislation using the left wing tactic of victimization. This is just pure baloney, there is not a better way to say it. I found this on Right Wing News, which is a great web site for those of you that have never visited it. By the way, the bill has a provision to pay for the ID for the poor.
For more on the Photo ID legislation, check out my post 'Votes Above Honesty' from yesterday...it is all about the Dems wanting to pick up fraud votes.

[New York Times] Eva Charlene Steele, a recent transplant from Missouri, has no driver’s license or other form of state identification. So after voting all her adult life, Mrs. Steele will not be voting in November because of an Arizona law that requires proof of citizenship to register.
“I have mixed emotions,” said Mrs. Steele, 57, who uses a wheelchair and lives in a small room in an assisted-living center. “I could see where you would want to keep people who don’t belong in the country from voting, but there has to be an easier way.”
It was during a registration drive at her assisted-living center, Desert Palms, that Mrs. Steele learned she could not vote. Disabled, with a son, an Army staff sergeant, on active duty, she left Missouri recently to stay with her brother and subsequently moved into the center.
Lacking a driver’s license, she could get a new state identity card, but she said she had neither the $12 to pay for it nor, because she uses a wheelchair, the transportation to pick it up. Grampus
