I was turned away when I tried to vote today!

Reason: I didn't have a photo ID.
Reason: I didn't have it in my billfold.
Reason: I put it on my scanner a month ago and forgot to put it back in my billfold. I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR A FREAKIN' MONTH WITHOUT MY LICENSE!!!
.
Consider this a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT . Please check your billfold or your purse to make sure your ID is in there. It may save you the embarrassment I suffered.

So easy to do, but it was a good wake-up call to always remove whatever I'm copying.

Glad you got back to vote.

I'm always asked my name and street address, and if it's on file they don't bother to double-check.
