That would make me really happy. We liberals are out here trying to warn people that the SAVE act will disenfranchise lots of people. Republicans are poo pooing it, and keep saying "You have had plenty of warning about Real ID" withOUT understanding that Real ID doesn't prove citizenship (in most states) and man, you keep trying to not understand the issue.

I hope lots of women who planned to vote Republican get hassled about it actually.


If you don't know how to get a marriage certificate or a birth certificate, you are going to have a lot of trouble collecting Social Security.


Some offices are experiencing significant backlogs is the problem.

New York State, in particular.

It's why I am advising everyone I know to make sure they have additional copies (recently issued and properly certified) of all their vital documents now, even if they don't think they will need them.

Somehow they'll twist it into Dems stealing elections or something.

It's tiresome.

Future lesson to all women:

Do not, under any circumstances, change your name when you get married any more.

it is just a giant pain in the ass.
