Why is anyone against an ID requirement??

They are lazy and racist. Everytime this comes up they claim the inconvenience too great and POC can't handle obtaining documents like birth certificates. The DMV gives you a checklist of docs you need, it's really quite simple [/quote]

I’m not old or poor and it has been a huge PITA for me.

The GOP is pretty transparent about its effort to disenfranchise D voters across the board. They realize they can only win by taking away votes from eligible voters. And throwing away results they don’t like. [/quote]

I guess it is a PITA to go online to request a copy of your birth certificate and marriage license. Previous generations were able to handle 3-4 hour in-person waits managing to get ID without even the internet. But I hope you understand not everyone, especially POC, have the same issues you seem to have with following directions.[/quote]

The process is a huge PITA for everyone. 
What if you don’t have unexpired US passport or US birth certificate?
(I didn’t have a valid drivers license & 2 additional forms of ID to get my certified birth certificate from my birth state. And once I sorted that out it took 3 months because of the backlog.)
What if you’re not on a lease/mortgage/utility? 
What if you changed your name?

It’s a bit circular. If you don’t have a valid ID it’s very difficult to a REAL ID.

Here’s what you need for REAL ID: 
[i]Bring one from this category:
e.g., unexpired U.S. passport or U.S. birth certificate

Bring one from this category:
e.g., Social Security card or W-2 form displaying full number; Note: You will not be required to present proof of your Social Security number if you know the number and DMV is able to electronically verify it.

Bring two from this category:
e.g., valid Virginia driver’s license, recent utility bills, mortgage statement, or rental lease agreements displaying current residential street address, not a P.O. Box. Note: You may redact (blackout/whiteout) sensitive financial information.

Name changes:
If your name appears differently on your proof documents, you will be asked to present additional documentation to connect the names, such as a marriage certificate filed with a government agency or court, divorce decree, or court order. Note: Marriage licenses, civil union documents, and marriage certificates signed only by the wedding officiant (for example, a member of the clergy) will NOT be accepted. See REAL ID FAQs for more information.

You had an expired driver's license? As I said, don't project your own lack of basic organizational skills onto POC. People always manage to get their required ID.[/quote]

I was planning to get a REAL ID in spring 2020. My license was still valid at that point. Then, DMVs were closed for a while. I was super busy juggling young kids at home with virtual school and work. Then it was impossible to get an appt at a DMV. Then I realized my license had expired and I had to get more documents. Delays getting birth cert from home state. Etc. It’s all a huge PITA.

I’ve NEVER said anything about POC. Not sure why you are harping on that.

I think it’s an issue for people who work, aren’t on the lease, IDs expired, not born in US, don’t have access to records or computer, elderly, etc.
