Daily Bread for 9.15.11

Good morning.

It’s a sunny day for the Whippet City today, with a high temperature of sixty-one.

Tonight, at 7 p.m., the League of Women Voters will hold a public program entitled, “Understanding the New Voter ID Law” at the Cravath Lakefront Pavilion. Here’s a description of tonight’s program:

Three speakers (Steve Pickett, Adam Harvell, and Aaron P. Frailing) from the Government Accountability Board (GAB) will talk on how the law has changed and what voters need to do to comply with the new requirements.

The program will include: 1) An overview of the law, including changes to registration and proof of residence; 2) requirements for a photo ID, with a breakdown of what IDs are acceptable and how to obtain them; and 3) How the law affects various groups, like absentee voters, the elderly and people with disabilities, voters changing their name, etc.
