I would not say that this hypothetical person is no longer a citizen, but I will say that they would not be able to enter federal buildings or fly so they will have to update to the star card either way. As I said I dont want to limit any citizens ability to vote. It just no longer seems to me like this bill is nearly as disenfranchising as some would have us believe if I will still be able to vote with my current ID card.

Are hyphenated last names not allowed on the Star ID cards? I didnt realize that. I was given that option when I got married but that was nearly 30 years ago and I didnt choose to do so. I will look into that further. I dont support making it more difficult for citizens to vote. I do believe that there is a lot of misinformation surrounding the ability of non-citizens to vote and that drives a lot of people to support voter ID laws. It is more of the 'Us vs Them' division the GOP uses against us peons.

That is what I had been reading ALOT, but in Et_Al's link to congress it reads like your ID must meet the 2005 REAL ID standards and it has me wondering if it is all a bunch of 'sky is falling' BS. If we are fine with the star on our ID that wont cut nearly as many of us out of voting. It is still a roadblock for some as I did acknowledge, those with other barriers to obtaining their ID...

Yes, and I went to the link in ET_AL's post, did you?

So, if I am reading correctly my drivers license with the star on it would be sufficient ID (the first . I know there are barriers for some people (elderly/disabled/etc) but it doesnt seem to be disinfranchising married women the way most people are spinning this. If I am wrong please explain...
