The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offers this important report, which begins: “The Georgia Licensing On Wheels bus was supposed to make it easier for elderly and poor people to get the photo identification they need to vote under a controversial new law. The idea was to bring photo IDs to the estimated 300,000 voting age people who don’t have driver’s licenses. When announced by Gov. Sonny Perdue’s office in August, officials said the bus could issue up to 200 ID cards per day. But in three months of traveling the state, the aging bus has broken down three times and issued just 471 photo IDs. That’s fewer than 11 per county visited. Critics say the low numbers show that one 15-year-old bus is a feeble response to concerns that the law will disenfranchise poor, elderly and minority voters. Perdue says the numbers show ID cards for voting are not in great demand. Either way, Georgians getting IDs from the bus are happy not to stand in long lines at driver’s license service centers.”
