It’s election time, which means we get to hear the word “disenfranchised” again. I recently heard voters with disabilities described that way, and that was news to me. The argument goes that voter ID legislation would deny these people their right to vote because many don’t have drivers’ licenses. However, most of them have proper identification anyway and won’t be turned away at the polls. Wisconsin’s same-day registration makes voting easy for people who follow rules. Unfortunately, those who don’t would rather blame the system than change their ways.

I'm not sure yet, but of all places, did they have to move to Chicago?
At least they won't be based in Dallas or Denver.
