Her birth certificate says "Steven," but her driver's license reads "Stephanie."
The transsexual Topeka woman fears her vote could be declared invalid if the state adopts a stringent new voter ID law. "These are the kinds of things that cause people not to vote," Mott told lawmakers considering the proposal Wednesday. "People like me would be left out."
