Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said that she wants to work with state governors to repeal the REAL-ID Act.  REAL-ID is popular within Washington, but the rest of the country has fought against it since its inception.

Napolitano, former governor of Arizona, said she has met with governors of both parties recently “to look at a way to repeal Real ID.” She said she wants to substitute the federal law with “something else that pivots off of the driver’s license but accomplishes some of the same goals. And we hope to be able to announce something on that fairly soon.”
