First question: why did they even bring bank statements if they weren't required?

Second question: why would one even need a bank account to get a voter ID?

Comment: idiot clerk!

I think the bank statement counts as proof of residence, I could be wrong though.

In Oregon, all you need is a piece of mail with your name and current address on it. Doesn't really matter what. I think all they need is something with a postmark to prove it's been through the postal system.

Because the the Republican leadership feel it is important to restrict poor people from voting with a whole new series of laws.

In Oregon, you could use a bank statement too, if it has your name, current address, and postmark on it. But there's no legitimate reason for them to be looking at the statement itself, the activity and so on. The envelope should be enough.
