Never mind that a 14-inch-by-18-inch portrait of former Reno County District Court Judge Richard Rome hangs on the third floor of the courthouse.
When Rome, 77, decided last week to cast an advance ballot in the courthouse basement while at the courthouse to sign journal entries, he was denied a ballot because he did not have photo identification.
Rome recently renewed his driver’s license and was given a piece of paper for the interim, and also was advised he could throw the old license away.
