janmcn, The following are required to apply for Medicare benefits for identification purposes:

• your original birth certificate or other proof of birth [more info] (You may also submit a copy of your birth certificate certified by the issuing agency).;
• your original citizenship or naturalization papers [more info];
• a copy of your U.S. military service paper(s) (e.g., DD-214 - Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) if you had military service before 1968; [more info]; and
• a copy of your W-2 form(s) [more info] and/or self-employment tax return [more info] for last year.

With these you should be able to get a photo id. Are you telling me that these 'elderly African American people' have not received Social Security benefits? I will agree with you if you can introduce me to just five of these people. Otherwise, your argument does not hold water. This may seem stubborn, but I'm from Missouri and you have to show me.

Meet Dorothy Cooper and Thelma Mitchell. I'll be back with three more as soon as I get back from cheerleading practice.

93-Year-Old Tennessee Woman Who Cleaned State Capitol for 30 Years Denied Voter ID | NationofChange

1. I do not doubt the veracity of the general story, but if you have to go to websites like this you are stretching quite a bit.

2. In both cases, there was a clerical error and each has a sentence, albeit not emphazed that each of them could actually vote one they did what was required.

3. I actually as a result of MY error in not understanding had that problem (the marriage certificate) with my wifes drivers liscense renewal, readily fixed.

4. This sentence from your second link "The incident is the just latest in a series of reports of senior citizens being denied their constitutional right to vote under restrictive new voter ID laws pushed by Republican governors and legislatures. These laws are a transparent attempt to target Democrat constituencies who are less likely to have photo ID’s, and disproportionately affect seniors, college students, the poor and minorities." says it all...TOTAL AND COMPLETELY POLITICAL.

5. I am betting that there are older black women who vote Republican.

6. Even though they can vote, no matter your distorted presentation, can they buy drain cleaner ?
