Because you’re paying for the drivers license and the Real ID, the voter registration is a free add-on.
Like I say, motor voter states already have the requirment, just make all states motor voter, flip to 100% vote by mail, and tell the Republicans “mission accomplished” and watch them lose their goddamned minds.
I haven’t needed to because I already have both a passport and a passport card, but it’s really not that hard or expensive (at least, not here it’s not!)
The DMV already requires proof of citizenship even without Real ID, so that requirement didn’t change.
One of these:
U.S. passport or U.S. passport card
U.S. birth certificate issued by a state or local government
Certificate of Citizenship
Certificate of Naturalization
Consular Report of Birth Abroad
Permanent Resident Card
Employment Authorization Card
Foreign Passport with unexpired visa and valid I-94 issued by DHSProof of Legal Name:
Social Security Number (SSN):
Proof of Address:
TWO printed documents that show your current name and current residential (home) address.Bring $30 for the Real ID charge in addition to the other fees.
So a Drivers License is $64, a state ID is $47, a permit is $30. +$30 for Real ID.
$94 for a license with real ID.
Real ID is becoming a requirement for all state issued IDs. Let me see what the current deadline is:
May 7th.
https://www.oregon.gov/odot/dmv/pages/realidtraveler.aspx
"Do I need a REAL ID?
Yes, if you…
Are 18 and older and will travel in the U.S. by plane after May 7, 2025, without a valid passport.
Visit military bases, secure federal facilities or nuclear plants.
No, if you…
Have a star on your license, permit or ID (this means you already have a REAL ID).
Prefer to use an unexpired, government-issued passport for U.S. travel.
Do not travel the country by plane.
Do not visit military bases, secure federal facilities or nuclear plants.
Are under 18 years old. TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling within the United States."
Solution:
Motor-voting registration in all states through the DMV. You already have to prove citizenship for Real ID. Make sure everyone getting a state ID is also registered to vote.
Then you do 100% vote by mail.
Republicans: “Wait, not like that…”

“We”? I’m not a lawyer, nothing I personally can do about it.
In fairness, Trump likely called Putin and told him personally…
“You need to verify your SSN identity in person… At an SSN office which has been defunded and has no employees…”
Looks like they changed headlines on you. Current headline reads:
“Greenland PM blasts Trump talk of U.S. annexation: ‘Enough is enough’”
Please make your headline match or we’ll have to remove it.
Seems much more likely.
Jamieson Greer? United States Trade Representative.
You don’t get to work for Cheney if you’re an idiot.
To be clear, Hegseth (the drunken amateur) isn’t the same as Michael Waltz, the guy who invited Goldberg to the chat.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Waltz
Waltz, unlike Hegseth, is not a random idiot, he definitely knows better.
“Waltz received four Bronze Stars while serving in the Special Forces during multiple combat tours in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa. He served in the Bush administration as a defense policy director in the Pentagon and as counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney.”
As far as Hegseth (or any of the rest of them for that matter) was concerned, the list was all vetted and pre-approved people.
The fact that NONE of them actually vetted the list before saying anything speaks volumes.
They went down the line asking “Hey, who else in your department needs to be a contact on this?” and they all sounded off one by one, except Goldberg.
Nobody thought to ask “Hey, J.G., we haven’t heard from you yet. In fact, wait, who is J.G.?”

I hear that argument a lot and I don’t buy it. You need to have valid ID to do EVERYTHING in our society.
For example:
To get a job.
To get a bank account.
To file for unemployment benefits.
To see a doctor.
To drive legally.
To buy a car.
To rent a car.
To rent a hotel room.
To rent an apartment.
To buy a house.
To have insurance.
To file taxes.
To fill a prescription.
To buy alcohol.
To buy tobacco.
To enter a weed shop (where it’s legal).
To buy M rated video games.
So you have to convince me that someone doesn’t have ID, doesn’t do ANY of that, and yet still somehow wants to vote?
I don’t buy that argument, maybe a handful of people, maybe the Amish, but not enough people to matter in an election.
