I'm in OHIO and I always have to show photo ID.

If your license doesn't show your current address, you have to bring DOCS showing current address.

That's not what the voter id says for Ohio.
"Voters who do not have any of the above forms identification, including a Social Security number, will still be able to vote by signing an affirmation statement swearing to the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot."

Keyword here, provisional.  Yes, this is a fail-safe to be certain that all Americans are allowed to cast a vote.  However, it is incumbent upon a Board of Elections, or whatever name it goes by, to determine it's validity.

These are cast by hand written ballot.  Any district officials looking at wide clear margins in a race, likely won't even consider those votes when declaring a winner for that district.  Eventually, if they are all doing their jobs, they will attempt to validate the authenticity of provisional ballots, if for nothing more than accurate book and record keeping.  I imagine some not even bother with that and I would imagine some GLP'ers would approve of that choice, in terms of it being a cost saving measure.

So, go get yourself untwisted over this.  It could just easily be you requiring a provisional ballot someday, even if you only moved across town.

Obama won several closely contested states that do not require any voter identification, including Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin and Nevada...
