      <![CDATA[renaissanceman, Dorothy Cooper has voted in nearly every election since the 1930s. She recently learned that a new Republican-sponsored Tennessee law would prevent anyone from voting in the state without presenting a photo ID, which she did not have (like many seniors, she didn't need one, because she does not drive).

nonsense and feel some concession should be made for her age, the thought pops up<br>
