Voter ID Laws and Trans People: Share Your Story

http://transgenderequality.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/voter-id-laws-and-trans-people-share-your-story/ (http://transgenderequality.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/voter-id-laws-and-trans-people-share-your-story/)

Almost 20 state legislatures have passed, what we believe, are illegal laws restricting your right to vote. Because transgender people face disproportionate rates of unemployment and homelessness, they may experience barriers to meeting residency and identification requirements written into these laws. For these reasons, we fear that trans people may be inadvertently disenfranchised.

If you are a transgender person facing trouble voting, please fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you soon about how we're addressing this growing problem.

I feel glad we don't have such restrictions here in the UK - as I am not aware of anyway.

That's a lot of 'may's in there Z.  California has had voter ID laws for a long time now, it's not that hard to comply.
