Standards in Pennsylvania demand a photo ID with an expiration date, which disqualifies certain forms of state and federal ID


What forms of photo ID are acceptable and which are unacceptable?

I personally can't think of any form of government issued photo ID that doesn't have an expiry date; because they usually force a 5 year (or so) expiry on these IDs to ensure that the Photo still looks like the person who owns the ID.

Generally what's on the chopping block are forms of identification that don't include photos or expiration dates. I believe Medicare cards are one, though my arm of the campaign wasn't involved in preparing voters (actually should be doing my job right now instead of writing this).

What I'm questioning is.  How does one get a medicare card without proper ID?

Seems to me you would need ID in order to recieve something like that?  Same with like any other thing governement gives out, like say welfare check.  Would you not need to show ID in order to recieve this?  And I'm not saying this in order to prevent illegals from getting welfare, I'm saying this in regards to giving welfare checks to the right people.  How would you feel if you went to collect your check and they said that "you already collected it"  They handed it out to some random person "claiming" to be you.  So is not showing ID beneficial to all?  It does nothing but add security to everything.  And is not $25 every 5 years a small price to pay for all around security measures in your life?  for only $5 a year you protect your X amount $ checks in welfare from being picked up by a random stranger.
