Maine Rejects Federally Mandated ID Cards

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the marks-of-the-beast dept.

WebHostingGuy writes "The State of Maine rejected the federally mandated ID cards passed by Congress. In a non-partisan vote the legislature flatly stated that they would not force its citizens to use driver's licenses that comply with digital ID standards, which were established under the 2005 Real ID Act. It also asked Congress to repeal the law."

    Yes, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. You got another question, or are you done making yourself look like an idiot?

    Well, yes. And that would be why? Because of state's sloppy requirements allowed them to. Hmm. Make the requirements more rigid and uniform and you reduce the problem.
