Condescending - adjective "showing or implying a usually patronizing descent from dignity or superiority:"
"The Pennsylvania Department of State Tuesday sent out its official poll worker guide on the same day it began offering a free photo identification card to voters who lack verification documents necessary for other forms of state identification." “Our goal is to ensure that every person who needs an ID can get one, and this new ID serves as a safety net for those who can’t find or obtain verification documents normally required for a PennDOT secure identification card,” said state Department of Transportation Secretary Barry J. Schoch." "The Department of State Voter ID is available at PennDOT driver’s license centers. It is valid only for voting purposes. For people born in Pennsylvania but who do not possess a birth certificate with a raised seal, PennDOT works directly with the Department of Health to certify the customer’s birth record. If the person still cannot qualify for a PennDOT secure ID, the department then issues the new Department of State Voter ID card."
