A civil liberties group says the state Department of Transportation isn't issuing temporary identification for voting as promised.The American Civil Liberties Union argued in court filings Friday that the agency hasn't followed through on a pledge that anyone who lacks the proper supporting documents to obtain a state photo ID card can obtain a temporary ID for voting if they visit a Division of Motor Vehicles office and begin a petition process for obtaining a card with whatever documentation they have.
The ACLU alleges the DMV has failed to tell applicants the petition process exists, applicants have had to make multiple visits to DMV posts and workers incorrectly told people they need proof of identity to initiate the process. (AP)
