[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just give me a reasonable example of someone who can’t get an ID[/quote]

“By the time I met Patricia White at a voter education forum in New Smyrna Beach, she had been trying to obtain a state ID for 10 months. Since moving to Florida from Pennsylvania, she had been repeatedly turned away from the DMV. Like many married woman, Patricia’s birth certificate reflects her maiden name rather than her current legal name. The DMV kept giving Patricia inconsistent and confusing information about the documentation requirements before it became clear that without certified copies of marriage certificates from both of her marriages, she couldn’t obtain a Florida state ID.

It seemed as if the only way to complete her ID application would be to fly back to Pennsylvania and chase down her documentation in person. However, Patricia had been recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and was scheduled to start chemotherapy in a matter of weeks. She did not have the money, strength, or time to make a trip to Philadelphia to request her marriage certificates in person.”
