I live in WI and have not been Rip Van Winkling.

My problem is building a story that is so tenuous as to look disingenuous. The TSA DOES HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR PHOTO ID... you can read their page on the topic: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids

We don't need our side to start pushing crappy memes whose veracity is so thin.

But TSA ID requirements and work arounds are really not relevant. Participation in ID requiring aspects of the economy -IS NOT- a criterion for voter eligibility in any constitution, federal or state.

The judge's use of the claim about TSA photo id was to support the notion that society has so many requirements that everyone has ID anyway. That's clearly not true, it's merely a projection of life styles that includes international border crossing, flying, driving, etc onto people who don't travel across borders, drive, fly etc. That generality rests on a willingly disregard and refusal to believe that many persons, particularly the old and the impoverished don't, and often can't, participate in the photo-ID requiring aspects of American life.
