13. My license does have a gold circle

with a white star inside, on the upper right corner. My name did change when I got married the first time, then after I divorced and remarried, it changed again. I never went back to my maiden name. Why they allowed it, I have no idea, but they did. Someone in the license branch must have just taken pity on me.

I know it's difficult for many people to get all the documentation. It's expensive and time consuming, if it's even available at all. Just getting the certified copies can be a hardship if they do exist. The whole thing is just a way to disenfranchise certain voters, and it is not at all fair. Many people who vote for voter ID don't know or don't think about those things, but many will find out the hard way about how odious it is. I'm with you in the fight against it.

Thanks for all the information, and now I'll wonder forever how I got my real ID without my divorce info.
