93-Year-Old Grandmother Is Suing Pennsylvania Over Voter ID Laws

[FlaGranny]

47. You must remember

you can get NO photo ID without a birth certificate. In Florida, to get a renewal of your DL (or ID), if you are a female, you need original documents including birth certificate, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, death certificates, etc., to show how you got from your birth surname to your current surname. I can't imagine how many women in their 80's and 90's, who have been married more than once or twice, could possibly get all those documents together. When I got my DL renewed, it was a nightmare getting all that stuff together.

They have made it close to impossible for older women. My mother was born in 1906, in a house, in the country. She had no birth certificate that I am aware of. She would never be able to get an ID if she were still living now. Even if witnesses were accepted, they would all have been dead. Can you imagine? Her family are amongst the earliest European settlers, coming here in the 1600's. She would now not be allowed to vote.

It really pisses me off.
