In my state, everyone had to comply with Real ID. But it’s not going to do any good, if the people running the polling places don’t even request ID. (When I went to vote last, the person I tried to give my registration and DL to actually become visually upset, saying that she didn’t want to see that.) And I wonder if all of our new illegals are going to be documented as thoroughly as we citizens are when we get a driver’s license.
Our elections in 2020 were run by completely new people - some have suspected they were union people. None of the usual neighborhood folks we had always seen at the polling place were there, none of the men in suits who had always seemed to be lawyer-like, were there observing. It was a completely different, almost chilling, atmosphere; and I’ve never been able to believe that it was like that just because of Covid needs - though one could easily consider that Covid certainly would have made a useful excuse for shenanigans..)
Here in Indiana I show them my DL and they scan it into a computer to verify it as valid.
