My wife was denied the opportunity to vote last year in the local elections due to not having ID in her when we popped in on a whim.

The voting booth refused to even register this, yet the apologists claim only 1 in 400 were denied.

Seems like a sensible decision, since you apparently couldn't be bothered to prepare properly. I totally have no sympathy for this story.

That sounds fair. No ID means no way to check if she had already voted or even has the right to vote.

I mean....how do you know it's more than 1 in 400? You have one example - your wife. Any reason to believe it was common?
