I had the same experience. I wanted to use my LTC on principle, but didn't want to make the poll worker's job any more complicated or less of a positive experience for that principle. The tablet they had to verify my ID was set up to primarily read the PDF417 barcode on the back of the driver's license. These people are volunteers (well they get a very small stipend but that's not really why they're doing it) and as a past Commissioner in Charge from my parish in LA, I'm very sympathetic to their experience too. I'm proud of my LTC, I'm even prouder that it has a red "Instructor" across the top. But If it makes their job harder by insisting on the LTC, why not just hand them the card that's right next to the LTC at all times? They were polite, so I was too.
