Hell, my 80+ year old maternal grandmother even continued to vote while in the throes of dementia.

These weren't the question. My question was do they have birth certificates with their married names on them? About half of married women do not. Because birth certificate is not something one "has" to change with marriage, like a driver's license, etc.

In Oklahoma, a bank or utility bill will work as ID to obtain a birth certificate. These are things responsible adults keep around. If you lose it, no matter what your age, that's not something responsible adults do. If you are ever not able to prove who you say you are, you've placed yourself in a potentially pretty bad situation.

So, you need to buy a birth certificate, to buy a state ID. And this doesn't discourage low income populations how?
I'm sure responsible adults never lose things. They also never have fires or floods.
