It took a call to a congressman to get Al Star, a homeless man in Nashville, his voter ID. When Star went to the Department of Safety’s office to request the free ID, he was told he needed to renew his driver’s license for $12, even though he no longer had a car. Eventually, a staff member for U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper needed to go in person to the Department of Safety office to convince the clerk to give Mr. Star his ID.
