“You must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring a photo ID with you to participate,” the state Republican party said on Friday in a post on the social media platform X.
The party is scheduled to hold local gatherings, known as the Iowa Caucus, on Jan. 15 in which participants will vote for their choice for the Republican candidate to run in November’s presidential election. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to be the Democratic Party’s nominee.
The state Republican Party posted its reminder after Casey DeSantis, appearing on Fox News with her husband, the governor of Florida, called on women from across the country to join the gatherings, saying, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to participate."
I have been required to show a photo ID for all of those things regularly throughout my entire life. Maybe you haven’t, and maybe some people don’t, but I have in several states.
They have asked for your photo ID when going to the doctor every time? I have never had that happen. They ask for my insurance card when I have never been to them before. I honestly do not even think I have showed photo ID then except for when I was in college and they asked for my university ID.
As for things like cigarettes or booze, they really card people who are clearly like 60 where you are?
Yes at the doctor’s office. As for cigarettes and booze, I’m in my 40s, so it not every time, but it still happens often.
