Check your voter registration? Yes, absolutely. Order a new ID? Not sure about that.
It takes time for things like that to process. I recently updated my driver’s license online and it took several weeks before the new card arrived. In the interim, I was supposed to print a piece of paper to serve as my license. Sure, it’s supposed to be a legal document, but in an election where Republicans will nitpick anything in order to disqualify voters, it’s easy to imagine a registered voter being turned down for using a flimsy piece of paper instead of a driver’s license.
I’m not saying not to update your ID if you need to. Absolutely make sure that your information is accurate and up-to-date. But if your existing ID is accurate, what would be the point of ordering a new one?
