(7,396 posts)I predicted this back when they first raised the REAL ID bill. Now, when they'd really like to see women and older voters disenfranchised, they're doing it.
I've tried and tried to get a REAL ID. It's not just birth certificates that are hard to get. Trace your marriages from marriage license to divorce however many times you did it. I know you young ones out there have listened and heeded retaining your own birth name, but for most of us older women it was even an afterthought... it we were even asked and it not added by the County Clerk automatically.
And then there are the wedding certificates that have white out on them (like mine). Even tho it's certified, it's no good as proof, so I have to come up with $16 to get 2 certified copies. It's taken me this long to calm down since I last tried at the first of this month. And now, THIS!
I've printed out the form, going to get a cashier's check for the $16 before we run out of money completely this month, and mail it certified mail to the County Clerks office... so they can't say they never received it again. Lord knows, at this time Texas is a long ways from KS for me.
The next step will be to only have elections like Hungary and Russia... and that's if they even allow those. All you white Christian males better get your ducks in order. Once they've stripped POC and women of all their rights, they'll be coming after you. No one lives a perfect life.
