Or just accepting SS cards at all? There needs to be something. My 98 year old mother wants to vote (she loves for me to read Mr. Hubble to her every morning), and although I have her signed up now, she will have to go in person. I can't sign up for the absentee choice for her since she doesn't drive and the DMV has gotten her birth date wrong on the non-driver ID (they keep doing it despite two attempts at correction - paper work has great inertia) and other forms of ID can't be used over the internet. They don't accept a birth certificate for some reason (no photo but then again one's photo isn't on a household bill which they Will accept). Her bills are sent to other addresses to help her keep up, and in general the system has not managed to figure out good ways for many of the elderly to continue to vote. I may have to go sit with her in a DMV office for two/three hours again soon if she'll do it!
