Letter body: 

I agree 100 percent with Greg Williams about driver’s cards being special privileges (letters, Aug. 25). We’ll be voting Nov. 4 on whether to allow illegal immigrants to have the cards.

Williams’ letter also got me to thinking about voting rights. We need to be able to prevent illegal immigrants from voting by asking for photo ID and by validating all votes.

People who say they can’t afford an ID card can take a bank statement, tax return, etc., to the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services to prove they can’t afford an ID card and DMV will issue them a card at a cost based on a sliding scale.

For those who can’t mail their ballots, I’m sure we can find volunteers to go to their homes and pick them up.
