What are the forgery protections on a CWP?
It would be a flick of the pen for the state to require state colleges to upgrade protections on student IDs and include them in any voter initiative.

For me, same as the license with one change, which makes sense given they’re printed in the same place. A duplex and guilloche background with micro printing throughout. A color photo with tactile embossed date of birth (DOB) A laser perforated state outline on the right, at the front of the card An expiration date printed in duo color Star and state logos printed with iridescent ink. Barcode (which got scanned when I voted). The one difference with the license is that the license has DOB in duocolor and a red expiration date. A new design came out a couple months ago (after I received mine). It has more laser engraving and also adds a ghost photo.
Who would then complain about the costs inherent in adding all these new requirements. It’s why so many of the Wisconsin student IDs don’t meet the eligibility requirements the State has put out.

She is very good at her job of making sure trump doesn't make a tit of himself. She is very good at answering the press questions while giving them nothing and then there was that Obama slideshow. Telling the press to look into crimes by Obama. Basically putting the onus on the press to look into bull**** claims against Obama while shifting away the onus on the trump administration to show its innocence for actual crimes. She is going to big a big factor in buffering the press from holding trump to rights.

In fact I would firmly argue the card I have in my hand is, from a technical standpoint, at least as technologically advanced, if not more advanced, than many other accepted forms of voter ID in circulation.
A student, meanwhile, can't carry a weapon, and so like something like a voter registration card, or any firearms they do own, these may be things they keep somewhere else, eg. off-location long term storage.

North Carolina has such a structure, currently over 130 ID cards are valid, which has got to be lots of fun for the poll workers. It's for this reason that an Irish driver's license isn't normally good enough to get into a bar in the US. It's impossible for people to know all the IDs out there, so if it's foreign and not a passport, it doesn't count no matter how legitimate it may be.

I figured out of state licences and an Irish accent and beard would have been okay for a 30yo in Carboro given you know, Duke and UNC being nearby, but alas. Had to drive an hour back to house to get my passport. And then in the bar we ended up in after, for the night, I didn't get asked once despite their recommendation. It all started when I requested a long Island ice tea in a cafe. What a hill to die on. And there was no way I was drinking sweet tea. Bleugh. Anyway...

Even my mother has concluded that she no longer looks in her 20s. Yet they are astounded to be told they are obliged to carry their passports around with them should they wish to consume alcohol here as they are occasionally checked to ensure that they have evidence of being over 21. "No ID, no drink." <sigh>. I'm in my mid-40s and routinely enough get carded. Bouncers/waiters don't bother looking at the date, they just have to ask for the ID, glance that it's my picture, and hand it back.
