[Magdalen] Voter ID

Wed Dec 28 16:19:11 UTC 2016

You don't have to read through the whole list: Any one of those 
documents listed can be your voter ID.  As soon as you come to _one_ you 
have (mostly driver's licenses), you're all set.  If you don't see even 
one that you already have, then you look for one you can get, and do it. 
  And you only have to do it once. Once you've found your voter ID, then 
remember it.  It doesn't cost anything. Mostly it only costs a trip to 
the County Courthouse, which is probably within a long walk. If you're 
too disabled to walk, I'm sure you can find somebody to transport 
you--if you don't have arrangements for transport, you're probably dead 
and ineligible to vote anyway.
