Jim Cramer Solves His Dad’s Voter ID Mess | TPMMuckraker
Are you one of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania voters who lack the type of photo identification required by the states voter ID law? If your son is a rich cable news personality with a big Twitter following, the state of Pennsylvania is on the case.
As TPM reported earlier, CNBCs Jim Cramer tweeted on Tuesday morning that his father a World War II veteran named Ken would lose the ability to vote under the state voter ID law because he does not drive, he is elderly, and cant prove his citizenship.
Less than seven hours later, the Mad Money host tweeted that authorities with Pennsylvanias transportation office came directly to the rescue of his father.
So how did it happen so fast? Needless to say, the reach of the younger Cramer, who has more than a half million Twitter followers and a net worth reportedly in the tens of millions of dollars, had a lot to do with it.

If everyone else has to have a photo ID and a BC, then what the the exceptions, and they should be applied to others in the same situation.
