Pa. Voter ID Law Could Keep My Daughter from Voting - Unless She Buys a Gun

[Curmudgeoness]

7. I remember when they expected the law to go into effect

and many of the retirement homes in this (western) part of the state were issuing photo ID's that were legal to vote with, even if you were not a resident or even whether you were old. I suspect that it was a silent protest of the law, but it really doesn't matter what the reason was.

I would keep my ears and eyes open for ways to get a proper ID for her. As November comes closer, there will be a lot of information on how to do it, including possible retirement home photo ID campaigns. Also, contact your representative and ask for information on how to get her one. I like the suggestion of getting a passport, but if money is an issue and she would have no reason to have one other than to vote, the law requires that an ID for voting only be issued. And if you do not have the raised seal birth certificate for her, get one for her now, before the last minute. I had to get one a few years back and it was easy and not very expensive (although I did have a driver's license to make it easy).

Demand answers from the people who put this law into effect------the legislators.
