8. Yeah, but women have had to get the documents needed. Not everyone has done that if their licensce hasn't expired

Not everyone opts for Real ID. Believe it or not, that $47 cost can be the difference between making the rent or becoming homeless. The is REAL poverty still in America and every penny is precious to a lot of working poor.

ALSO: There have been several stories of ICE/CPB looking at real ID drivers license and dismissing them as probable fakes. We have little guarantee county and state election officials in GOP counties and states will honor Real ID either.

I live in a county where 2 of 3 county supervisors REFUSED to certify an election. Judges had to threaten them. One of the two did a plea bargain and retired. The other is STILL trying all manner of ways to delay his criminal trial.

If it wasn't for Marc Elias' team taking those 2 GOP supervisors to court and beating them, NO VOTEs from this county would have been counted in our state total, IOW, every voter in the county would have essentially disenfranchised because 2 MAGA idiots insisted on violating AZ election laws.
