[quote=Anonymous]Here is what you need to get an ID card in MD:

http://license.mva.maryland.gov/checklist/checklist.aspx

1. Birth certificate or valid US passport. Less than half of Americans have a passport. Who knows where their birth certificate is?
2. Original social security card or a W-2 or pay stub. Who still has their original social security card? And if you don't have a job, you don't have a W-2 or pay stub.
3. 2 proof of residential status in MD, like a utiliity bill, copy of tax return, credit card statement. Low-income, homeless, and unemployed people won't have any of these.

You also need $24 and to go to the Maryland MVA during their open hours (8:30-4:30 M-F, 8:30-12pm Saturday). There are 4 locations in MoCo: Gaithersburg, Walnut Hill, White Oak, Glenmont. Only one (Glenmont) is near a metro station.

Yes, all this can be done, but it's a lot of hurdles to go through, especially for an elderly or unemployed person who would need to do all this just so they can vote.[/quote]
