[quote=Anonymous]Since we are talking about ID, here is an interesting, if only tangentially relevant, story:

DW is applying to begin SS benefits.  She filled out the online application.  However, she was born in Missouri, and MO is also the abbreviation for Morocco.  Thanks to an anti-terrorism law that recently went into effect, she was flagged, and needs to show a birth certificate.  We could not ind hers around our cluttered old house, so she contacted Missouri to get a replacement.

Now comes the second problem -- as a kid she changed the spelling of her name because she thought the original was old-fashioned.  She has been consistent ever since then.  But since her credit card does not match the certificate, they would not send it.  Fortunately they were willing to send it to her brother.  I think that is really weird, but at least it solved the problem.

My point, in case my wordiness has hidden it, is that ID can be a real pain, and these voter ID laws will cause far more problems than we have now (a few anecdotal cases of voter fraud in the entire country).[/quote]
