I am OK with my voting rights, just as they are. What I want now is the right to fly on an airplane without a photo ID, the right to buy my beloved Irish whiskey without a photo ID, the right to cash a check, or even open a bank account; or purchase a shotgun; or rent a car; or buy non-prescription decongestants at CVS; or visit my grandchildren at school; or insure my car so I can drive legally; or pick up my held mail at the post office; or get treated at a hospital emergency room; all without a photo ID. Give me that and I will let anyone walk in to vote. As many times as they wish to in each election.
For what it's worth, the stats in the newsletter support your point. Large majority of people across all parties "back a requirement to provide photo identification to vote." So it seems you're arguing a point that most agree with.
ID's should be required. But, so too should registration be made easier and hours of availability be expanded. There's no reason we can't ensure identity and also increase access.

Just ordered a couple of items from your shop, and looking forward to showing them off when they arrive.
