Ramsey’s voter ID taxi service gets first fare

Eileen Marhefka, 65, says an aide to Ramsey dutifully picked up at her home in East Nashville this afternoon and shuttled her to the driver service center at Tennessee Tower to get a non-driving ID card. The aide also advised her on how to get the card free of charge.

Ramsey told reporters in September that he would drive anyone to get an ID — so confident was he that the number who lack picture IDs and the means to get one would be small. The comment was made in jest, but Ramsey has said he would stand by the offer.
