Even with VoteRiders staff and volunteers helping Edward, it took a lot of time and ingenuity to get Edward’s ID.
Ultimately, VoteRiders helped Edward get a notarized copy of his birth certificate and advised him to get a replacement Social Security card by having Edward’s elderly mother sign a form that allowed him to secure his Social Security card without a government-issued ID.
“The biggest service VoteRiders provides is having your back,” he said. “VoteRiders gave me an inner peace, a new fighting spirit.”
Now that Edward has an ID, he’s able to get a job and vote. In addition, he was able to travel to Chicago to attend his son’s graduation ceremony.
“More people need to know about VoteRiders. I’m just so happy that I heard that radio ad — I only heard it one time — I’m just so happy. Thank you, VoteRiders, for not leaving anybody out of this process.”
