This letter could set a record for brevity. On Sept. 2, this paper published two letters — one critical of the administration’s attitude toward immigrants (“We’ve seen this unsettling story before“) and the other (“Voter ID referendum includes dangerous changes“) alleging that requiring a picture ID to vote is burdensome.
In the case of the former, the writer clearly failed to grasp that the administration’s beef is not with immigrants, but rather illegal immigrants. Big difference.
In the case of the latter, its presumption is preposterous. Think of how many activities we engage in that routinely require a picture ID. How is voting any different?
These writers should get help for their TDS (Trump derangement syndrome) and join the real world.
