To the editor: Zoltan Hajnal fails to address for me the reason why voter ID laws suppress minority votes. ( “Strict voter ID laws hurt minorities,” Opinion, Sept. 8)It is absurd that in a society where you can't cash a check, board an airplane and often need to validate your identity to use a credit card that ID proof to cast a vote is considered discriminating. James Caterine, Rancho Mirage::To the editor: Hajnal draws a correlation between minority voting and the states that have voter ID Laws. In those states that have strict ID laws, how many minority voters had proper IDs but just did not care to vote? The California DMV offers a reduced-fee ID card for people in public assistance programs, and there is no fee for a senior citizen ID card.
