Trump’s executive order on voting rights. I may be misinterpreting this (correct me please if I am), but it sure sounds like you won’t be allowed to vote if you didn’t opt for a “RealID” version of your license. A regular driver’s license contains no information regarding citizenship status, at least in my state, so it wouldn’t count. A lot of low income people in rural America have skipped getting a “RealID” because it’s more expensive. If this order goes thru, that decision may cost them their right to vote. This could disenfranchise millions of low income voters.
I don’t have a RealID and had no intention of getting one. It took over a month to get a replacement birth certificate last year when I needed “proof of citizenship”. When my driver’s license expires I may opt for the RealID if it’s not a major hassle, but something tells me it’s about to become one.
Out of curiosity: do you never fly anywhere? Do you not anticipate needing to fly anywhere on the near future, given the current context? Do you not have a passport?
I do not have a passport. I’ve never left North America. Also, I don’t fly anywhere unless there’s no other option. I haven’t been on a plane in 2-3 years.
