“Seniors chop up AARP cards in voter ID protest”

Conservative groups are calling on Minnesota seniors to boycott the
American Association of Retired Persons over the group’s opposition to
the photo identification measure on the November ballot.
To drive their point home, seniors gathered at a Wednesday press
conference snipped AARP cards into shreds. They say there are
conservative-affiliated groups that can give them the same senior
discounts and that share their conviction that requiring a photo ID to
vote will reduce voter fraud.

Pennsylvania offers easy way to verify birth certificate for photo ID

Under the policy, announced Wednesday, native-born Pennsylvanians who
have never had a driver’s license, and lack a paper copy of their own
birth certificate, can just go to a PennDOT motor license center, fill
out a one-page form and have their birth records electronically verified
by the Department of Health.

Previously, those residents had to
order a paper copy of their birth certificate with a raised seal. There
was a 10-week wait time and a $10 fee to obtain the document, said Ron
Ruman, a spokesman for the Department of State.

“We continue working on quicker and easier ways for eligible voters to
obtain photo IDs,” Secretary of State Carol Aichele said in a statement.
