37. I still think it was set up by the Nuns themselves.

It was a way to show they opposition to the Supreme Court Decision, and maybe pressure the State legislature to address WHY they could NOT vote (and by extension address the problems of other people without IDs).

Now, I can NOT find it when I re-read both Articles, but I believe I had read a statement that they rejected a Military ID for it had no expiration date on it (The person then produced his driver's license which had an expiration date on it). Under the US Military ID System, Commissioned Officer's IDs do NOT have an expiration date on them. Thus Officer's IDs are effective until resignation. Enlisted IDs expire with your enlistment period, thus always has an expiration date. In this case some officer tried to use his military ID, effective for Geneva Convention purposes, and it was refused. I question that refusal, given that it is a valid US Military ID.
