"easy access to identification"

Now what could Gov Rendell mean by that and why would he veto an election reform bill?

On Presidents' Day at the National Constitution Center, Gov. Rendell announced his veto of a bill that would have required all voters to show identification when they go to the polls.
Rendell said that the bill, which passed the legislature last week on largely parti-line votes, would have the effect of disenfranchising those without easy access to identification, including nursing-home residents, displaced families, the very poor and those without a driver's license

I am sure that provisions could have been made for individuals with those situations, but then all those illegals and dead people wouldn't be allowed to vote. Can't have that!
