Specifically, in Texas, for a state ID you get photographed and fingerprinted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
probably won't go through the hassle of getting a non-driver's ID in order to vote.
If the effort of getting a non-driver's ID was equal to registering to vote (I have done neither, so I don't know), would it still be seen as an obstacle?
State ID costs money
Seriously? That seems rather obvious a monkey wrench to throw in people's way. And, me, I seem naive.
To get my Driver's License in TX with a current NY one, I needed my original Birth Certificate, documentation of local address (possibly the mortgage or deed), and something els
What do I need to register to vote?
Fuck me with a spoon if I don't feel awful. Like, I'm not sure I even want to work from home awful. This is stupid.

Because books.
Registering to vote usually just requires filling out a form and signing it.

Do you need a mailing address?

Because books.
Yes, because that determines your polling place. At least the way I remember it. I think you can even do it online now.

So how does it work if you're homeless? Are there shelter or somesuch addresses you can use?
I just emailed in sick another day. This is really kicking my ass.

Wouldn't your note have covered today, too? Thursday, Friday, and today?
I'm honestly not sure what happens if you don't have an address.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This is one of the big issues - one of the major services that shelters provide (beyond just coming in from the cold and maybe some food) is that they can provide an address for anything from finding a job to registering your kids for school to registering to vote. People (and agencies, and addresses) like those are a lot of what the "voter fraud" cranks like to yell about.

Yeah, I'm covered notewise for today. I just really really want to be well enough to work, so I beat myself up for it.
So, basically, one shouldn't have to a) pay b) be photographed or c) be put in the fingerprinting system in order to have to vote, and that's at the very least what your state is trying to enforce, msbelle? And they'll let one state do that and not the rest?

Unrelated to voting, I seriously need to get productive today. I lost a huge chunk of last week and have 3 projects at once. Which is yay but also ACK.
