Real ID is implemented State by State. Many have been given extensions. Eventually, you will have to get one or you will never be able to fly commercially again... unless you get a passport - but passports also require Real ID to get one going forward.
The summarized version is that you must show proof of citizenship to get a Real ID (usually by showing a birth certificate). The Real ID is also a proof of citizenship for voting. The thread is about voting, by the way.
I do not have the TSA license...I just renewed
