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. Personally, I check my polling place online, every time. We have seen what happens when politicians suddenly close or relocate polling stations, I have no faith a piece of perforated post paper is going to be up to date on a voting day.
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.
These all sound like things the colleges are already capable of producing or could immediately produce if that's the issue. The current Clemson Student ID is not embossed but then neither are most state IDs. There is a Clemson Paw hologram. A student full color photo. Student ID number. Magnetic stripe. RFID Chip. Barcode. Additional holograms, laser cuts or embossing wouldn't go amiss, but it it's not a technical obstacle. There's no anti-counterfeiting art, but I'm not aware of Student ID counterfeiting being an 'issue.'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.
You'd have to clue me in, I'm afraid. I must have missed it?
I mean, I get it: students on avg revolve out of education in 2 to 4 years from the time the card is made in the first place. However, I see IDs being produced that in some respects are cutting edge and I disagree with the notion that they should be excluded as a form of ID merely on those grounds. 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.0 -

I don't know how Tuberville is being received, but I would love to see Sessions walk this.

Never thought I'd be pro-Jeff for anything!

Anyone see that trump briefing today.
Have to say I'd really respect kayeigh mcenany if she wasn't a tool of such an evil organisation. 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.

From Campus Vote Project: "Wisconsin accepts student ID cards from public and private schools as long as the ID contains a name, photo, signature, issuance date, and expiration date that is not more than two years after the issuance date and is presented with proof of current enrollment such as a tuition fee receipt or an enrollment verification letter. A number of Wisconsin colleges and universities have updated their IDs to contain these elements or will issue a compliant ID upon request, but others have not taken these steps"
As you say, those are pretty simple requirements, yet many of the cards haven't changed.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.
Fair enough. And it is technically possible for there to be a bureaucracy whereby each individual institution submits for approval by the State their own specific ID card. 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.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.
Well, some can, depending on the State, but that's beside the point. I submit, though, that if a student is in college, he's surely responsible enough to keep track of his driver's license, state ID, military ID or passport. And if he doesn't care about those (or maybe his voter registration card), perhaps the college education is going to include an impromtpu lesson about responsibility and civic duty. Further, in many cases, if you have misplaced your ID or voter card, such as in South Carolina, you can still go vote, and your vote will count unless it can be proven that the reason you don't have an ID (eg you were mugged, the dog ate it, etc) is false and you had an opportunity to fix the problem.0 -
