Reply #35: I will have problems voting in Arizona [View All]

[ThoughtCriminal]

Recently moved, so the address on my voter ID does not match my driver's licence. When we went to DMV to change our address, we were told that getting new picture ID's was optional. In order to vote I will either need to get a new government photo ID or use a alternative non-photo IDs (TWO required). The problem with alternative ID, such as a utility bill, is that these are sent to my PO box, rather than my residence. They do show a service address so it might work but I would not count on it. Further, many families only have utilities listed in one name.

We will probably either request ballots to vote by mail or waste an afternoon at DMV getting new picture ID.

This is going to block a lot of people from voting and most are not going to find out about it until election day. 2006 will be the biggest vote suppression effort since Jim Crow days.
