Thirty-six states have photo ID laws requiring voters to show a valid photo ID at the polls. Florida is one of them.<\/p>\n

Ensuring you have the right ID, or even the right paperwork to acquire the right ID can be intimidating. That\u2019s where\u00a0VoteRiders<\/a>\u00a0comes in.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, the nonpartisan nonprofit has helped get voters ready for the polls with a network of volunteers across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do a lot of problem solving,\u201d said Taylor Ashley Crowe, Florida coordinator for VoteRiders.<\/p>\n

Often people may find themselves in a \u201cdoom cycle,\u201d as Crowe puts in, when it comes to getting important documents together.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you have to get an ID to get another ID,\u201d she explained. \u201cSome people need to get a copy of their birth certificate in another state. Some people just don\u2019t know where to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Brennan Center for Justice,\u00a0as many as 11% of American citizens<\/a> do not have a government-issued photo ID. The issue is also a matter of equality as marginalized communities are less likely to have a current driver\u2019s license including Black Americans, Latinx Americans, and Americans with low incomes.<\/p>\n
