[Magdalen] Voter ID

[Charles Wohlers]

Well, yes, there are other forms of ID. People who don't have a driver's 
license can get a state ID - usually for when they get carded in a bar.

Neither Massachusetts nor Vermont require voter ID's. All you do is walk up 
the the nice lady (or man) who asks your address and name and sees if you're 
on the list. If so, you go vote. You are also checked off when you finish 
voting - and, when it's all done, both lists need to agree. Here in Vermont, 
it's a bit easier as both the town clerk and the "nice lady" are friends of 
ours.

I happen to have my mother's voter ID card from North Carolina (c. 1998). 
It's a card just for that purpose with no picture, just name, address and 
signature.

Are there any other forms of government-issued ID
besides a driver's license
and a passport?

I would imagine that loads of people have neither.
