Why Voter ID Bills Are Bad For Women

Of all Americans without a license:

•Women are more than twice as likely as men not to have a drivers’ license.
•One of every five senior women does not have a license.
•Over 70% are women.

[Source: US Census Bureau Detailed Tables. “Sex by Age Total Population.” July 24, 2006. Federal Highway Administration. “Licensed drivers, by State, sex, and age group.” July 24, 2006]

•There is ample anecdotal evidence that suggest factors like name changes related to marriage and divorce make it less likely a woman will have a current name and address on a photo ID that matches the name and address on the voter list.

Have Republicans found another way to wage war on women by keeping them away from the polls?
