Pennsylvania’s voter ID law will no longer be a problem for the father of CNBC host Jim Cramer. Cramer tweeted that his father, a veteran, lacked the specific form of photo identification that would allow him to voter in November under Pennsylvania’s voter ID law. Cramer now says that Pennsylvania authorities contacted him and assured him they’ll make sure his dad can vote.
PennDot read my Tweet and came directly to the rescue of Pop and did so in a terrific way so he can vote.. Thank you Penndot!

When my dad and i talked about this we had no idea how to turn and he LOVES the right to vote. I praise Twitter for making things right…

That’s one down, hundreds of thousands of registered voters who lack state-issued identification to go.
