Regarding the article “Voter ID laws disenfranchise thousands,” it is stated needing to have an ID disenfranchises a voter (Aug. 1).
Requiring an ID to vote shouldn't disenfranchise anyone. I need one for doctor appointments, to buy alcohol, cash a check, check in at a hotel, get on a plane, rent an apartment, drive a car. On any given day you can be asked to confirm your identity.
The article also stated that voters (in Ohio) didn't know that the rules had changed. One has an obligation to know certain things, and the rules for voting is one of them.
What does disenfranchise voters is the obnoxious partisan ballot that gets put out for the primaries. If someone wants to vote for a Democrat for office A, a Republican for office B and a Libertarian for office C they should be able to do so.
