S.C. Governor Turned Away by Poll Worker

SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C
Even the governor needs the right ID to vote in South Carolina.
Gov. Mark Sanford learned that lesson the hard way Tuesday _ he had to make a second trip to his Sullivans Island polling place because he forgot his voter identification card the first time. The poll workers, following the rules, had turned him away.
"I hope my luck turns," Sanford said. "Yesterday, I had the eye issue, today I was absent-minded and didn't have my voter registration card."
The first lady's identification was in order, and she was allowed to vote, said poll Manager Bob Crawford at the Sullivans Island Elementary School. But the governor showed a driver's license with a Columbia address the first time, and that didn't cut it. He said Sanford came back about 90 minutes later and cast his ballot.
Sanford has had a tough few days.
The Republican, running for a second term, burned his eyes under bright stage lights on Sunday and had to skip campaigning on Monday to go to the doctor and recuperate.
Sanford's eyes were red and watery as he stood in line at the voting site on Tuesday, but he said, "It's behind me and the prognosis is good.

SC's Republican Conservative Governor did not make a scene. He didn't assert any privilege and he didn't whine about his physical injury. He followed the law.
Mark Sanford is a class act.
