Just 22% of 18-year-olds in the state are registered to vote. It seems the problem here in PA is that teenagers cannot pre-register to vote before they turn 18. "If they are turning 18 between the primary and general election, they have to wait until after the primary to register."

The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Each individual voting in an election for Federal office shall present an eligible photo identification document. (b) PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS.— (1) IN-PERSON VOTING.—In the case of an individual who votes in-person, the eligible photo identification document shall (A) be a tangible (not digital) document; and (B) be presented at the time of voting.(c) ELIGIBLE PHOTo IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT.—For purposes of this section: (1) IN GENERAL.—The term "eligible photo identification document" means any document which (A) is issued by an authority described in paragraph (2); and (B) meets the requirements of paragraph (3).(3) REQUIREMENTS.—A document meets the requirements of this paragraph if the document contains (A) a photograph of the individual identified on the document; (B) an indication on the front of the document that the individual identified on the document is a United States citizen; and (C) either (1) an identification number issues by the entity described in paragraph (2)(A); or (11) the last four digits of the social security number of the individual identified on the document.(4) USE OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.— (A) USE OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.—A document which fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (3)(B) shall not fail to be treated as an eligible photo identification document if the document is presented together with another identification document that indicates the individual is a United States citizen.
