Real ID

This is the worst kind of surprise if you're a believer in democracy and enthusiastically want to let your voice be heard in an election.

I've never claimed to be a math genius, but I've lost count of the number of times there has been a change announced to the ongoing Real ID effort in Illinois and the word is another one could be in the works.

The Real ID licensing in Kentucky has hit some delays, but now, you can get one of the newly created Driver's Licensing Regional Offices throughout the state. And if you happen to be heading to Louisville for the state fair, which begins Thursday by the way, you will have a chance to upgrade to a Real ID on site.
