Florida drivers license renewal [View all]

I am a lifelong Florida resident, born and raised. I just had an experience that raised my hackles. I had to renew my drivers license in January. Everything went smoothly except my aging eyes weren’t quite as sharp as they were eight years ago. Anyway, I passed and received a new license.

This morning, I got an email from our local democratic coalition and there was a section indicating that new licenses would be assigned new ID numbers. I checked my license and sure enough, the number I was assigned in 1968 was no longer applicable. The email indicated that if I didn’t update my information with the supervisor of elections, it could impact my voting eligibility.

I seems to me that the state would inform you of the identification change, but not a word from the local DMV office. This seems to me that this is a direct assault on my voting rights. I was fortunate to be locally involved politically and was informed of the change albeit second hand. Pisses me off.

Anyway, I sent a slew of emails to family and friends to let them know. In addition, I sent an email to the Florida DMV asking to institute a policy letting people know of the change.

The fascists keep pushing.
