Trans citizens could be barred

Some people may find they are not allowed to vote this Super Tuesday.

Some 378,000 eligible U.S. voters who are trans do not have identification such as a driver’s license that reflects their appearance or gender identity, said a report by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a public policy research institute.

In the United States, 35 of the 50 states require voters to show identification and of the trans people without IDs, 260,000 live in one of the 35 states, the research said.

Just to be clear, California is NOT one of those states. If you live in Cali, go vote!

It will surprise no one that experts agree that the people least likely to have required ID are young, poor, and members of non-white groups. So are a heck of a lot of trans citizens.
