Did You Have To Show Your ID To Vote?

I voted. This is what happened. I went to my polling place which is a public school. I first went on line to determine what my election district is. Then I went on the line. I gave the woman my election ID but she said my election district is what it says on the card which is not what the guy told me at the first line. So I looked for that election district. It doesn't exist. So I got guidance and they said that the election district I was told in the first line is my election district. From now on I will just go with my ID. So I stood on line again and this time the woman let me vote in that line. I gave my ID, she wrote my name on a card and I received the voting paper. They explained I had to fill in the bubble. I waited for 10 minutes then went behind the voting box. I filled in my candidates. Someone in Russian asked me to help him. He wanted me to verify if that guy's name on the ballot is Mitt Romney and I did. After I was finished I was confused where to scan it but then I found the machine. That was the easy part. I just scanned my paper and the machine took it. I was done. I voted for Gary Johnson for president and Kirsten Gillibrand for Senator(Kucinich endorsed her). The only thing I want to know is why are Obama and Romney also nominees of other parties? That's allowed? Obama is nominee for Democratic and Working families parties and Romney is nominee for Republican and Conservative parties.

I did in Tennessee

Not in St. Louis
Gave her the card that came in the mail and when I was going to show her my ID, she said she didn't need it.
St Louis City is not reliable.

Maryland , Nope.
Walked in, she asked my name and address.
I gave her first and last name, and street address.
She nodded and handed me the paper before I even finished with my street address because she just wanted to hear the house number.

I was in and out in 3 minutes flat.

In most places that require a pic ID you can sign an affidavid to vote

Yes...and state my full name and address. Topeka, KS here.

Yes, TN. Had to sign in to vote, have it checked against my voter's card, ID and their book, voted, then signed out stating I had voted.

BTW, they did SCAN it (my license). I thought maybe I was getting liquor or smokes too at this point, lol! Nice to be TRACKED, eh?!

Nope-NY

As a matter of fact, they have set up voting places like the church next to my house, where one can walk in, fill out an affidavit that asks things like your name, address, social security number, AND if you're an American Citizen. Then you can vote.
Absolutely NO verification of citizenship, eligibility or even if one is registered to vote.
Dozens of places like that all over NYC. They are making it EASY to scam/fraud!!!
How f***d up is that??

Not in California. They just asked for my name and I signed. There were a lot of Mexicans that had thick accents voting too. Just saying.

Scanned? Computer? Wow high tech. I just showed my license they found me on list of names told me what number I was in record book where I signed my name gave me ballot and ink pen and sent me on my way to fill in the arrows!

Tennessee- Yes.

They check my I.D., then back it up against voter registration information. The way it ought to be done all across the United States.

Someone in Russian? I assume you mean "foreign accent". You sure they were Russian? Not that it matters. You can be an American citizen and not speak a word of English as long as you pass the test. Granted it's not an easy test; most American's probably couldn't pass it.

...don't be a racist prick...
just saying,

Suck my dick Juan.

Just saying

this

Yes I had to show proper ID. Louisiana still has integrity,
Louisiana State Motto: "Union, Justice, and Confidence."

NY (New York City) - No ID required unless your name is flagged (I don't know the criteria for being flagged). They look up your name in a register and you sign in under your registration signature - I ** assume ** they are supposed to check if the signatures match.

Yes

Florida

No. I'm in PA. They were supposed to ask even though I didn't have to show, but they didn't even ask. I had it on me but didn't want to show it because it would have been a pain in the ass getting it out after holding my toddler in my arms in the cold for 30 minutes.

I knew I didn't have to show it though. I would have had it ready if they wanted it.

Rural town in Massachusetts....
no I.D., just address and name and they check you off the list.

Actually no. I even pulled my wallet out to show it and I was not asked. While waiting in line I did take notice to others being carded. Twas interesting.

Didn't have to show ID, but my town has ledgers that they use for every election. It shows my signature, address, full name, etc.,. AND they check your current signature next to the one in the ledger everytime you vote. There is also a paper trail from another signature. My town does it right.

Yes. Missouri.

It was quick and easy. I don't see a problem with it.

I pulled out my ID here in NJ, and the elderly black lady told me she couldn't read it anyway because she can't see and needs glasses. She took a full five minutes to find my name...then I helped her! OMG!

Glad to know he didnt go out of his way to cause problems..LOL

No ID required but I had to sign here in Illinois

sounds like she really EARNED her $100.00 today..

STFU! Just saying!

No here in PA, but I gave it to her anyhow for spelling of my name, I get so tired of everyone asking how to spell it...

No issues at all, only one complaint in our county about one voting machine not accepting a vote.
