Voter ID laws

Yet another example of a woman in her nineties being disenfranchised by voter-id laws. It would appear that this woman, who has voted in just about every election she's been eligible to vote in, can't get re-enfranchised.
And to think, it's happening in McCain's home state. Will we hear him express his protests, his disgust that the law has no way of a court determining an exception?
These voter id laws have been passed in response to crises that don't exist: the subtext is that they are there to discourage certain subgroups from voting.

Yours, wishing none of this,
N.
