Nearly one-fourth of the senior citizen voters who have cast a ballot in the past 50 consecutive elections (including November 2011) lack a valid state-issued ID and could be prevented from casting a ballot in November, according to a new PA AFL-CIO analysis of data provided by the state.
...
Helen Taylor, an 81-year-old from Doylestown who wants to vote for Romney, wasnt aware the voter ID law would prevent her from voting until she was contacted by TPM. She no longer drives, and her licence expired a few years ago after she got into an accident.
Taylor first voted for Dwight Eisenhower after seeing him speak in Philadelphia as a young woman. Shes heard some people talking about the law but didnt think it would affect her. Taylor doesnt think the law is necessary.
I mean, here I am, Im 80-years-old, I live in a retirement community, Taylor said. I definitely want to vote. My whole family always likes politics. My parents were Democrats, they loved Roosevelt and all that. But everybody well there are a couple Democrats left I think but almost everybody is a Republican now.
I stand by my convictions. Even this Republican has the civil right to vote.

Where does the Voter ID law state that the ID must be a driver's license?
Voters will be required to show an acceptable photo ID on Election Day. All photo IDs must contain an expiration date that is current, unless noted otherwise. Acceptable IDs include:
Photo IDs issued by the U.S. Federal Government or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (including the Department of State Voter ID Card)
PA Driver’s License or Non-driver’s License photo ID (IDs are valid for voting purposes 12 months past expiration date)
Valid U.S. passport
U.S. military ID- active duty and retired military (a military or veteran’s ID must designate an expiration date or designate that the expiration date is indefinite). Military dependents’ ID must contain an expiration date
Employee photo ID issued by Federal, PA, PA County or PA Municipal government
Photo ID from an accredited PA public or private institution of higher learning, including colleges, universities, seminaries, community colleges and other two-year colleges
Photo ID issued by a PA care facility, including long-term care facilities, assisted living residences or personal care homes
If you do not have one of these IDs, and require one for voting purposes, you may be entitled to get one FREE OF CHARGE at a PennDOT Driver License Center. To find the Driver License Center nearest you, and learn what supporting documentation you will need to get a photo ID visit PennDOT's Voter ID Website or call the Department of State's Voter ID Hotline at 1-877-VotesPA (868-3772).
NO ONE legally entitled to vote will be denied the right to do so. If you do not have a photo ID, or are indigent and unable to obtain one without payment of a fee, you may cast a provisional ballot, and will have six days to provide your photo ID and/or an affirmation to your county elections office to have your ballot count. If you have a religious objection to being photographed you can still vote by presenting a valid without-photo driver’s license or a valid without-photo ID card issued by PennDOT.

looks like even without the id you can vote. Note the 'or an affirmation'. They even put in an exception for religions that don't allow pictures.

What documents are required to get that "free of charge" ID? What do those documents cost, and what documents do you need to get one?

He is, but a lot of older voters aren't.
Most of these folks will go to the polls on Election day just like they have for the past few decades...only be told THIS TIME that they don't have the "proper" ID.
Elections come around every 4 years. YOU CAN not tell me in 4 years people can not get out ONE TIME with a friend and get an ID and save the 15 dollars to get one in 4 years time.. not buying it

read my posts, dumbass. They can vote provisionally. I even gave specifics as to what is allowed as ID, what can be done without ID... for example, the use of an affirmation.

You lying little herpes scab. The PA law only allows them to vote provisionally, if they can produce the required documents within a few days after the ballot is cast.
Why do try to lie so often?
If they do not have the required documentation after they cast the provisional ballot, the can provide an affirmation. Apparently you do not know what that is.NO ONE legally entitled to vote will be denied the right to do so. If you do not have a photo ID, or are indigent and unable to obtain one without payment of a fee, you may cast a provisional ballot, and will have six days to provide your photo ID and/or an affirmation to your county elections office to have your ballot count.
a solemn declaration accepted instead of a statement under oath.
