Lila Shapiro has written an article for the Huffington Post on how Transgender Voters could be among those hardest hit by voter ID laws.

According to the Williams Institute report, in the states that were either considering strict voter ID laws, or already have them in place, 40 percent of transgender people do not have an updated drivers license, and 29 percent had no identification or documents at all that list their correct gender.
