Clinton signs executive order making self-portraiture a valid form of voter ID

http://www.hillarybeattrump.org/home/2017/2/25/self-portraits-to-qualify-as-voter-id

Washington, D.C. -– In response to a wave of voter ID laws in red states across the country, President Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed a new executive order allowing Americans use self-portraiture as a valid form of voter identification at polling stations. In a press statement released today, Clinton reaffirmed her belief that voter ID laws discriminate on the basis of socioeconomic status and race, often disenfranchising individuals who lack easy access to typical forms of ID.

Now, every American with a piece of paper and pencil can easily identify themselves when they go to cast their ballots. The order specifies that self-portraiture will be considered valid voter identification under these conditions:

All self-portraits must be drawn or painted with a pencil, paint, food, pen, marker, or Crayola Crayon
The canvass can be any material, for instance a piece of paper, a scroll, a rock, or even a tissue
All self-portraits must include a face, and may include a stick-figure body according to the artist's preference
All self-portraits must be signed at the bottom by the artist, unless the artist insists that this violates her concept


I love this website. This is where I start my day.

I can't believe it is featured on MSN.com.
