You can't do anything else in life without a drivers license.  Legally
you can't buy a beer, bank, go to the park, etc w/o a drivers license.

Perhaps mandating the use of a drivers license for voting will help lift
the poor and underprivileged up to a respectable plateau. (note: I'm not
lumping minorities into the category of poor and underprivileged as
aaron does)

That is really just your opinion, you can't possible provide substantive
data to back that up.  ;-)
