Daniel Molina is a senior at the University of Central Florida. He is an active and enthusiastic voter who recently interned for a local campaign. He met our Florida Coordinator Jazlyn Gallego at a University of Central Florida voting event. Daniel's FL state ID was expired, and his UCF student ID doesn't have a signature - a detail required by Florida's voter ID law. He made an appointment to go to the local DMV with Jazlyn and was able to obtain his ID to vote!

Just months out from the critical mid-term elections, REAL ID has added yet another layer of difficulty and confusion to an ID process that was already disenfranchising for millions of eligible citizens. With ID shenanigans already prevalent in states trying to restrict voter turnout, what happens when you add yet another layer of complexity to the ID process? That’s an important question, because many states require voters to get authorized voter IDs from the same places they get driver’s licenses.
