1. REAL ID isn't good enough for voting, either.

WTF?

How much did it cost states to comply with federal REAL ID & now it doesn't count for these things? All I've ever had to show for voter registration was my DL, but now, after 50 years, that's not good enough & I have to jump through a bunch of hoops. GDMF!

$ 50 for a birth certificate

$ 35 for a passport card
$ 30 for processing fee
