They have only themselves to blame for many of the issues with REAL-ID. The mandatory requirements are onerous and worse, they were repeatedly changed and miscommunicated with state programs. CA ended cancelling millions of previously issued ids a few years back. Thankfully mine wasn't one of them because I've never been able to sufficiently prove where I reside with any combination of passports, voter registration cards, and online utility bills to the satisfaction of random DMV employees.
