AURORA, Ohio A Portage County World War II veteran was turned away from a polling place this morning because his drivers license had expired in January and his new Veterans Affairs ID did not include his home address.
My beef is that I had to pay a driver to take me up there because I dont walk so well and have to use this cane and now I cant even vote, said Paul Carroll, 86, who has lived in Aurora nearly 40 years, running his own business, Carroll Tire, until 1975.
I had to stop driving, but I got the photo ID from the Veterans Affairs instead, just a month or so ago. You would think that would count for something. I went to war for this country, but now I cant vote in this country.
