I\u2019ll absolutely vote tomorrow morning!\u2019\u201d Mercedes recounted. \u201cThe next morning they sent me a Lyft to take me to vote. It made my day. It\u2019s so important to me as a citizen to fulfill this duty. Thank you very much, Lyft and VoteRiders.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, thanks to donated rideshare credits from Lyft and other partners, VoteRiders has provided thousands of voters with free rides to and from ID-issuing offices. Once they have their IDs in hand, our staff and volunteers follow up to do everything we can to get these same voters the information and assistance they need to get to the polls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cOne of the key barriers voters often face in getting an ID to vote \u2013 transportation to the DMV \u2013 is the same when it comes to voting,\u201d explained Lauren Kunis, executive director of VoteRiders. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be putting extra effort into helping the voters we assist with ID all year long to cross the finish line and vote.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercedes, 59, first received <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/voterid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voter ID help from VoteRiders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> earlier this year, which is why\u00a0 Jazylyn, VoteRiders\u2019 Florida Voter ID Coalition Coordinator, contacted Mercedes as part of regular follow-up calls to Florida voters we\u2019ve assisted with ID. Earlier in 2022, Mercedes came across VoteRiders\u2019 website while searching for ways to get a new Florida driver\u2019s license, as her previous license from Connecticut had expired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/about\/\"><b>VoteRiders got me to the ID-issuing office and paid for my new ID,<\/b><\/a><b>\u201d Mercedes said. \u201cI&#8217;m eternally grateful because I <\/b><b><i>really<\/i><\/b><b> need my driver\u2019s license.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercedes\u2019 driver\u2019s license is essential to her livelihood. For the past 10 years, her RV has functioned as her home. While she typically works on the land her RV is stationed on, Mercedes was forced to evacuate her previous location as a result of Hurricane Ian, the deadliest hurricane to hit Florida in 87 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not having a permanent address has made voting difficult for Mercedes. In 2020, when she first attempted to register to vote in Florida, an election official told her she would need a permanent address to put on her driver\u2019s license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cSo I said, \u2018don\u2019t homeless people get to vote?\u2019\u201d Mercedes recounted. \u201cAnd then they paused and said, \u2018Yes, if you\u2019re homeless, your address on your license is <\/b><b>\u2018general delivery\u2019 <\/b><b>with the same zip code as the courthouse. For your address on your voter registration, you can put room #117 at the courthouse.&#8217; So I put that on my registration. I know people who are homeless and they don\u2019t realize you can vote. You can, and don\u2019t let them tell you otherwise.\u201c<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VoteRiders works to ensure that all eligible voters can use their voices in every election. Mercedes\u2019 fierce determination to fulfill her civic duty and cast her ballot is an inspiring reminder of the importance of protecting our democracy and safeguarding every citizen\u2019s right to vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes Daniels had given up on voting in Florida\u2019s midterm elections.\u00a0 Even though she\u2019d finally gotten her Florida ID to vote with the help of VoteRiders earlier this year, she was displaced by Hurricane Ian in late September and couldn\u2019t afford to make it back to the polling place where she\u2019s registered to vote.\u00a0 But [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":13255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-voter-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Voter ID Story: Displaced by Hurricane Ian, Mercedes Gets ID and Votes &#8226;
