Voter I.D.

[RKP]

I really find it hard to comprehend that in some places one can vote without showing proper ID, here, every since I was able to vote, one has to fill out the card and at the very least present their drivers license, now they scan the DL and have for quite some time now, and then one's able to vote, whether it's for a local or national election.

At my precinct they always check ID and compare my signature to the one on file. Not sure what would happen if I told them I had no ID, and just to take my word for who I am?

Back in California, it was always just sign next to your name in the book of registered voters. No Id, nothing. Interestingly, even after 15 years, they still had the previous owner of the house listed as a registered voter at my address.

Up here in WA, my county is 100% mail voting, so I suppose that may be even worse.

That's how it was in the PRNJ. Still is, except that the "book" pages are now computer generated. You must still sign it, though.

Here in FL, you must provide a govt. issued ID which is then scanned by a machine. It actually then prints the ballot on the spot, via a laser printer.
