Dear friend,

The fees to get an ID can really add up. For Nicole Karpinski, who lost her
birth certificate in a move from California to Arizona, those fees threatened
to put an Arizona state ID —and therefore her right to vote — out of reach.

When Nicole called the VoteRiders Helpline, she wasn’t sure what to expect.
VoteRiders’ Arizona Organizer, Valerie El Ghaouti, helped Nicole through every
step of the complicated process.

Nicole needed her request notarized to get a replacement birth certificate
from Los Angeles County. But, because she has epilepsy, she doesn’t drive. So
Valerie arranged forNicole’s transportation to and from the notary — and to
cover the notary’s fee. With time running out to register to vote in Arizona,
Nicole was worried that the birth certificate wouldn’t arrive in time, but
Valerie also arranged forovernight delivery to be sure Nicole met the
registration deadline.

When her birth certificate arrived, she was ready to get her ID. Valerie,
again, arranged for transportation and paid for all associated fees.Nicole was
able to secure her Arizona ID and register to vote ahead of the deadline.

Not only was Nicole able to register to vote, but her Arizona state ID allowed
her to apply for essential state benefits, like health care and nutrition
assistance.

“I didn’t pay a single fee in the end,” Nicole emphasized. “And that was all
because of VoteRiders.I really don’t know if I would have been able to get an
ID without that help.”

At VoteRiders, we believe cost should never be a barrier to voting. But so
often, the fees to obtain an ID can put voting out of reach. VoteRiders depends
on our donors to ensure that we have the resources we need toalways cover the
fees and transportation costs for the voters we help.

We set a goal to raise $50,000 by December 31, which we’ll use for ID
information and free help for voters in states with strict voter ID laws all
year long. You can help! Make a tax-deductible donation today and we’ll use it
to help voters like Nicole get the ID help they need.
