Yeah I know. Getting a certified birth certificate is nigh impossible. Why just a few weeks ago I went to the Ohio website to get one for my wife. I mean it was really hard. First I had to Google for a starting place, then click on the links, then fill out the forms and then they had the audacity to make me use my debit card for payment. Never mind that I needed a photo ID to open the bank account, get the drivers license, etc.

But man that was the hardest thing ever.

Now if I was poor enough, I could have gone to a local library to use their Internet and stopped by a 7-11 to get a money order and mail it in. And if I couldn't afford the cost I suppose I could have called my cell phone company to told them to cancel my data plan for a month or two.

The notion that logistics are so insurmountable is a argument weak at best. The point is if a person really wanted to vote they would find a way. Frankly in my view, the ones opposed to it have other motives and it has nothing to do with being "fair".

A constitutional right should cost $0.00, not a penny. Come on, people cry all the time about their rights not being honored. Gun owners who cry about the cost of a license should be walking hand in hand with the voting rights people - oh wait in some states there is no fee for gun ownership but there is for voting (at least indirect costs).
