9. My state, in its infinite wisdom, decided to require a photo ID to vote.

Jul 2022

My license expired two years ago, and due to covid and health issues, now down to a cataract, I haven’t yet been able get a new license. I was able to vote in 2020, because it hadn’t been expired for a year, and in 2021 because my wife vouched for me (which is allowed).

Suddenly, last week, I received a new voter ID card in the mail. I already had one, but this new one has a PIN number. I can use this card to vote (even though it has no photo), either in person, or absentee by using the PIN number on the ballot instead of a DL number. They sent it because they have no record of a valid license for me (duh). My wife also got a new card, but hers can’t be used as a ID to vote, because she has a valid license. It doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not complaining.
