    His name changed legally, the voter registration didn’t get updated.

    I’m not going to teach my kid to defraud the gov’t.

      Oh, so he has a new ID but I assume registered to vote before the name change and the registration is tied to the name? Ah yeah that sounds like a pain in the ass.
