Iowa to launch a digital driver's license this year

[lucas80]

So, I can download a valid state ID to my phone, but voting by mail is unsafe? Why can't we vote by our phones in 2022?

They better have a way to text the info to a cop, because most people aren't going to be comfortable handing their phone over and seeing it go back to the cop car.

Will this work for RealID stuff like getting on a plane? Or just a backup if you forget your wallet and get pulled over or want to buy booze at Adventureland but left your wallet far away from the east side?

What do you mean you can’t read it?

Thanks, no thanks. A physical ID will do me just fine. Call me old fashioned but why we got to take every last piece of life and connect it via the interweb? Russian hackers will soon be able to ransomware every last part of our lives. Pipelines ran gas and oil long before being connected to the internet, /end old man rant.

You know why we can't. And it has nothing to do with election security.

A bunch of us already have the microchip implanted.

I just renewed my DL online a couple of weeks ago, It was nice not having to go to the BMV, Took about two weeks for new DL to arrive via mail.

Ya I'm not comfortable handling or taking possession of anyone's phone. You know how many driver's license I have dropped or slid between the console and driver's seat???? Hard pass.
