OK, so it's now time for me to renew my Maine driver's license. I have been a tax-paying resident and driver in the great state of Maine for 22 years. I have not, up till now, had any problem renewing my license.
But now, when I go in to renew, I must bring (for the first time) my birth certificate AND proof of Maine residency, such as a utility bill with MY NAME on it. Unfortunately, all our utility bills are under my husband's name. So I'm hoping that our joint Maine state tax return will satisfy them. If not, I'm going to have to hunt around for other papers to prove what the post office, my neighbors, and my accountant already know -- that I LIVE HERE.
WTF. I hate this new law.

(3,880 posts)the real id will keep the honest voter honest like the lock on your door keeps the honest neighbor out. The corrupt will simply counterfit them to continue dis-honest voting.
the culprit is the rigged voter machines,the puppet that manages to get to count votes with the real honest citizens or misplace ballots etc. these people should face a penalty that would discourage any attemp to stop or alter a voters right.
like 10 years in jail with no hope for parole -lose the right to vote for life! etc.
