[quote:_2 swords_:MV8yMDM1OTkyXzM0MjI1MDg0X0IwNTM0QTY=] Where else can you get away with using your library card as a form of ID? What's wrong with using your Social Security card? Oh yeah, that would mean you have to have one, wouldn't it... [/quote]
Original Message
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Supreme Court Thursday ordered state and local election officials to accept Memphis' library photo identification cards for voting purposes in Tuesday's general election provided the voter is properly registered.
The Shelby County Election Commission instructed its staff to comply immediately on the last day of early voting Thursday, said commission chairman Robert Meyers.
"The instructions are to accept as valid the Memphis photo library cards, which means those voters that present with a Memphis library photo ID would then be allowed to vote on the machines. And any voter who has cast a provisional paper ballot with a Memphis photo library ID would not need to do anything additional for their vote to be counted," Meyers said.
