I have to show id at the doctors office, at my kids' school, when I buy prescriptions aty the pharmacy, when I get on a plane.  WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?  When asked to verify id, my rights (specifically my right to vote) is being protected, my rights aren't being violated. 
 
It never occurred to me to feel disenfranchised, whatever the hell that is...

 makes you wonder what all the potentially disenfranchised do the other 364 days a year with no form of identification ....doesn't it?
