Oklahoma Identification Card = $10 and proof of citizenship.

Or, as mentioned in the other thread, a voter ID card, which is free.

In addition, voters may use the voter identification card they received by mail from the County Election Board when they registered to vote. The law allows use of the voter identification card even though it does not include a photograph or an expiration date.

It's also worth noting that you can vote absentee without the ID. The notarization/witness requirements oblige the ID requirement, per the election board.

Furthermore, you can apparently cast a provisional ballot, which should be counted once the .gov reviews it and confirms your info as valid and your ID verified. I'm almost considering doing this the next time I vote, just to be an ass.

I wonder if I can check later and confirm if my vote was considered?

Seriously, I would at least blur it all out. Not sure, but I don't think he would appreciate his social being out there for all to see when he turns 18 and wants to buy a car and finds out he has 3 foreclosures and a ton of debt on his name...

I guess I'm not following you here. Your voter ID card does not have a photo on it and your link clearly says:
The law requires any document used for proof of identity for voting to contain the following information:

the name of the person to whom it was issued
a photograph of the person to whom it was issued
an expiration date that is after the date of the election

it's an either/or. A valid Photo ID or the voter ID card. Check their choose your own adventure tip sheet:

http://www.ok.gov/elections/documents/valid_id.pdf

And state statute:

http://www.oscn.net/applications/OCISWeb/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=78560
A. Each person appearing to vote shall announce that person’s name to the judge of the precinct and shall provide proof of identity, whereupon the judge shall determine whether the person's name is in the precinct registry. As used in this section, "proof of identity" shall mean a document that satisfies all of the following:

1. The document shows the name of the person to whom the document was issued, and the name substantially conforms to the name in the precinct registry;

2. The document shows a photograph of the person to whom the document was issued;

3. The document includes an expiration date, which is after the date of the election in which the person is appearing to vote. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to an identification card issued to a person sixty-five (65) years of age or older which is valid indefinitely, as provided in Section 6-105.3 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes; and

4. The document was issued by the United States, the State of Oklahoma or the government of a federally recognized Indian tribe or nation.

Provided, if the person presents a voter identification card issued by the appropriate county election board, such card may serve as proof of identity without meeting the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this subsection.
