Tennessee and Florida pass them out like candy. For several years TN offered a no ID license

I don't even have to get the photo changed (it is about 15 years old). I haven't had a drivers liscense eye exam since I was 15 1/2 andd got my learners permit. I wear glasses now, I didn't then.
You can renew/replace your license online? I am not sure how to feel about that. For some reason I had to surrender mine to replace it with a Norwegian equivalent, and am wondering whether I can just get it replaced next time I am in TX, or must retake the whole test. I have not bothered to check though, because I know I must retake the eye exam regardless, and, as you note, cannot do so from the other side of an ocean.
Along with "motor voter" which would allow you to register to vote, but of course there are no illegal aliens voting in Tennessee elections... never mind the cottage industry of tour buses that traveled from south Texas to Memphis (where you could visit a Post Office Express, get your no ID motor-voter license {test offerd in Spanish}, apply for TN-Care {medicaid} and food stamps all in about 2 hours).
When guns are a big national issue, how do reporters & pundits not know facts about them?
