   The photoID they used would be rejected under the SAVE act.  States   
   already require ID, why do we need more laws?   
      
   What is the problem SAVE seeks to solve?  How big is that problem?   
      
   ============   
   George Smiley in Alabama, one of the foot soldiers who marched across the   
   bridge in Selma as a kid, voted in every election once he was able to,   
   and in the final years of his life, was denied the right to vote after   
   Alabama passed its voter ID act. That happened because George Smiley was   
   poor and well past the age where he had a driver’s license, let alone the   
   ability to afford a passport. And while Alabama paid lip service to the   
   availability of state IDs, they were difficult to come by, not made   
   available to the people who needed them the most and requiring access to   
   documents and transportation to government offices.   
      
   Mr. Smiley is the kind of person the SAVE Act prevents from exercising   
   their right to vote. People who don’t have a birth certificate and find   
   it complicated to get the documents they need to establish citizenship or   
   just can’t afford them. You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops and pay   
   over $100 to be able to vote—it’s a right, not a privilege. The SAVE Act   
   is, pure and simple, a poll tax.
