Dear John,

Without a government-issued ID in Oklahoma, Julie Autaubo had to endure three years without critical medical care for her damaged liver.

Despite several attempts to secure her ID, a missing marriage license from 39 years ago made it impossible to safeguard her health and livelihood , or exercise her right to vote.

Read more about Julie’s story and how a dedicated VoteRiders virtual assistance volunteer was able to track down the marriage license and get Julie her ID! >> [link removed]

Julie had tried getting her Oklahoma ID when she moved from Oklahoma to Texas, but she needed her 1984 marriage license. When she called the county clerk’s office to track it down, no one could locate it.

Then Julie became gravely ill and had to be hospitalized. After losing half her liver due to complications during surgery, she was eventually discharged. But she was unable to receive follow up care because she lacked a valid ID.

Julie was losing hope when she learned about VoteRiders on TikTok. She connected with Shelly, a VoteRiders volunteer, who escalated the missing marriage license issue to Julie’s Oklahoma state representative. Sure enough, Julie’s missing marriage license was finally found.

“It exists!” Julie exclaimed. “I exist.”

It took five years, but now Julie has everything she needs to get her ID, access life-saving medical care, and vote. Millions of people like Julie lack a valid ID, and VoteRiders is ready and able to provide everyone with the free help they need to get one.
