DC Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday announced a new regulation that allows residents over the age of 70 to obtain a photo ID…
…so long as they have their photo taken with the President.
Very good news. So happy for you, Ms McLaurin.
Voting in America:
Unable to get a photo ID without a birth certificate and unable to get a birth certificate without a photo ID.
All to vote in a District that doesn’t get representation.
You’d think we’d be better at this whole Democracy thing.
Catch 22---------or Catch ScrewYou.
I hate republicans.
Decency should not require the intervention of the President of the United States.
Soon to lose presidential candidate Kasich on D.C. getting the vote.
“You know what,” the Republican candidate said, “what it really gets down to if you want to be honest is because they know that’s just more votes in the Democratic Party.”
Could Obama go dance in KS?
Seems a bit irresponsible to me to give a 107 yr old woman a driver’s license.
Technically we have one non-voting member of the House who does lobby as well as a “Shadow Senator” who god only knows what he does.
What burns me is DC always ends up getting saddled with crazy Red State programs that run contrary to the will of the electorate because of the lack of rulemaking authority.
What about the other Virginia McLaurin’s across the county? (Not that I think there’s a plethora of 107 year olds).
Only if she drives…
Every once in while, something still works the way it ought to work,
Let’s see how long it lasts…
Only if she drives fast 
It’s for Identification, more than anything I’ll bet.
They want everyone to carry ID?
I’ll be “Fine” with that (no, I won’t) when the “Gov’ment” decides that everyone gets a passport FREE OF CHARGE ONCE and then has to pay a (LOWER!) Renewal fee every ten years.
That way, Americans too can enjoy the experience of having someone walk up to you and say
“Papieren, Bitte!”
It’s a helluva catch, that Catch-22.
no taxation without representation. how’s that play with you governor kasich? and learn to spell your name the way i like!
But how do we KNOW she’s over 70 without a friggin’ Birth Certificate?!?
True enough.
Though from the text, it looks like the rule has been changed for everyone, not just her. So if her visibility as someone who’s met with the president (and is a local celebrity) can help everyone in the District over 70 get an ID easier, then so be it.
