ID at the polls
I got a speeding ticket and my license was taken away. My ticket is my temporary license, and I have a college ID with my picture on it; however, I'm worried that I might have trouble at the polls on Tuesday. Anyone have any info. about this kind of situation?

3. Don't know about LA
but all AR requires is a photo id-it didn't stipulate that it had to be a driver's license. When I voted early last Monday, they simply checked my photo and my address. I'd think a photo id from college would suffice, but check with your parish clerk.

8. Can you get a non-driviing ID from the DMV?
I used to have one, when I had a UK drivers licence.
