Pennsylvania develops easier way to obtain voter ID

link…beginning the last week in August, when the new cards are supposed to
become available, citizens will not have to produce birth certificates
and Social Security cards, as currently required, to prove their
identities to PennDot personnel.

Under the new requirements, the new photo ID cards will be available
to registered voters who can provide a birth date, Social Security
number, and two proofs of residency, such as utility bills.

PennDot will check immediately with the Department of State on the
voter’s registration status and, if the status is confirmed, issue a
voter ID card on the spot, the Department of State announced.
