[quote user="whitman500"][quote user="Safety Valve"][quote user="CurtMc"] You dont have to show any id to vote anymore just show up speak spanish and pull the lever It is against the law to ask anyone to prove they are a citizen or 18 or even registered   [quote user="Train Master"]wow! 5 pages of debate on a subject nobody is sure of. sound almost like politics. love to stay and argu the point but im only 13 and therefor cant vote[/quote] [/quote] Where I am, if your name is not in the book... ye aint voting. They could take your information and let you vote, but will go back and verify it. If found to be false or otherwise un supported then the vote will be thrown away and not counted. [/quote] I went this morning and all you needed to have was your name and address.  When I tried to show ID, the person told me to put it away because it was unneccesary.  Then they had me sign next to my name in the book and then vote in the machine.  What's ridiculous about this is that anyone could have shown up and claimed to be me and voted in my name.  I'm in the phone book.  And if I showed up later, there's no way to remove the fraudelent vote from the system and replace it with mine.  It would be particularly easy to vote for someone that had recently died or was in a hospital/nursing home.  [/quote] The worker who told you to put the ID away was probably watching the clock and wanting to hurry up and process everyone thru. That worker should have been replaced with another worker who will take the extra 10 seconds for the ID. That worker should have made you show ID. We had two seperate workers ask for our ID and once we signed ours and got a slip to the "Boss" we were free to vote.
