text: That may be fine and good for you, but there are tens of thousands that don't have passports. and i don't know if you can remember, but obtaining a passport is a hassle in of itself. whats the fee nowadays? $60 or something like that and a wait time of what? 6 months or so. not to mention, with the rush to obtain a passport, the state department will become overworked and the delays will likely be even greater than normal as a result. this will effect air travel as well, the TSA will not accept the state ID card either as a viable identification. But i'm, sure it won't be required to vote, just impede your right to travel freely amongst  the states. this is a blatant violation of the states rights and an overreach of the feds on those rights.
