There are lots of problems to getting out the vote in low-income communities, especially given the high needs of that community to start with. Our position is that vouching is not the solution, nor is the voter identification card a solution to something. But when you look at the list of all those options and what is realistic in the hands of the people we know.... I went through the list and among them there were eight or nine that I've regularly seen people having versions of in my 18-year career. So our issue is that taking two more reasonable options away from people limits the ability to vote in our community. That's why the prescription bottle.... We didn't expect everyone was going to go with the prescription bottle, but it was one more realistic option that people had in their hands.
