Serious assumption that folks drove to the polling place, especially those saying that they voted at the same time as their spouse.

But for me, the answer to this question is similar to the answer of why I do not consent to a "quick" search of my vehicle even though I have nothing to hide. If you have to ask, then I'm guessing I won't be able to convince you of my position on an internet message board.
You're right on the assumption, but this isn't the first time I've seen a post on LTC being offered as ID, I'm fairly certain not everyone who has done so has no DL. And I do understand saying no to a search of your vehicle, but sorry the comparison is just not there. There's a very valid legal reason to refuse a search of your vehicle even when you have nothing to hide, outside of just exercising your rights (even if that is why you do it).

But, like I said, I was just curious. I gather "because I can" is the dominant reason, and that's fine too. I just thought there might have been some perceived benefit I was missing, like using your LTC when buying a handgun to skip the background check.

Just out of curiosity, why is this a concern/issue? You drove to the polling place, why not present your DL? Just curious why the love for using the LTC as a form of identification aside from presenting it to an officer when required to?
