I looked online. Lancaster, Frazer/Malvern and Media were listed but nothing for Oxford, PA. I knew it was connected to the Wiggen’s Auto Tags. I called Wiggen’s to make sure the photo center was still open for business.
The Pennsylvania Voter ID Law may or may not go into effect.
When you click “Photo ID Card” and put ZIP Code 19363 for Oxford, PA: You get Lancaster, Frazer/Malvern and Media but not Oxford, PA.
When you click “Photo for your Driver’s License / ID card (must bring camera card)": The Oxford, PA Photo Center appears: It's most likely on the up and up but I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with what happened in the Lower Oxford Polling Place during the 2008 Elections. The Oxford, PA Drivers Photo Center is close to Lincoln University:
Voting Access in Chester County
"In predominantly white Chester County, Pa., Lower Oxford East Township contains the largest concentration of African-American voters, largely because of Lincoln University, one of the oldest historically African-American universities in the country.
The township made national news following the 2008 presidential election, when some voters were forced to wait literally all day in pouring rain in order to vote. Many voters had to leave without casting their votes, disenfranchised by inadequate polling facilities. Despite numerous warnings before the election that the cramped polling place would cause problems, the County Board of Elections had refused to change the location of the polling place – a tiny community center that could accommodate only two lines of voters, a small number of privacy booths, and a single ballot scanner. And even after the 2008 fiasco, the Board of Elections rejected a petition to move the polling place to the campus of Lincoln University, where it had previously been located for years."
