Kat Calvin, the founder and executive director of Spread The Vote, and Project ID discusses the state of voter ID laws, and addresses the problem of tackling the approximately 26 million eligible voters who are without the necessary ID to vote. We also discuss how the expense and red tape of obtaining ID creates a separate class of citizens, one in which those without ID are often unable to secure housing, jobs, benefits, and even medical care. Lastly, Kat discusses her upcoming book, American Identity Crisis.
