Re: Did You Have To Show Your ID To Vote?
O'Fallon Mo - NO.

I had my DL in hand along with voters card because when coming in they had signs saying what they needed and on the voter card it has a list of what ID's are acceptable. It says you must show an ID issued by the state of MO including a state agency, a local election authority of MO, or an institution of higher education of MO. When I got to the front of the line the lady said she did not need any form of ID Just the voters card. Contradicted everything I had seen to that point. Kind of scary if this is going on everywhere.

Single step.

You Identify yourself.

Pollworker looks you up on a paper print out.

Pollworker asks for/You supply picture ID.

Pollworker confirms your address and then cross you off on the paper printout and hands you a ballot.

No ID asked for here in NJ. Signed my signature next to my signature which they had which was upside down. Then they compared the two. For not having to show ID it seemed pretty secure. Kinda hard to fake someones signature on the spot that you're reading upside down.

Re: Did You Have To Show Your ID To Vote?
Yes, this is the third or fourth state I have voted in and the FIRST ONE that didn't send us a registration card or thing to bring. Here, we just had to produce official ID with our address on it or something close to that with and affidavit.

Simple process here, but the ballot was SHORT...only two pages..unlike the one in 2008 that was what...ten pages long or so? Nevada vs. North Dakota I suppose.

No. In Maryland you only have to show ID if it's your first time voting, or if you've moved or made a similar significant change in your situation.

I'm in DFW, TX: I had my voter's registration card with me, which they were delighted to take. I got the impression that a lot of people didn't have them? I was the only one in there at the time (2:40pm) so I have no idea what they did for people who had alternate forms of ID.

Re: Did You Have To Show Your ID To Vote?
Did not show any ID. In fact I pointed to my signature on record and she didn't double check to see if I was indeed the person I pointed at.

No, but I give it to the poll worker anyway, as they were too stupid to find my name on the list without it, after having already spelled out my last name to them 3 times.

YES - Oklahoma

Will Obama carry any of our counties this time?? He did not last time. I doubt he will this time either. Only state with this distinction in 2008.

YES -- Likewise in Oklahoma.

And I too hope we retain the distinction of remaining the reddest of the red states!

I appreciate everyone letting me know - it's interesting the differences between states.

And also thanks for the votes that overruled that one-star bastard chuckle

Re: Did You Have To Show Your ID To Vote?
I did - down here in Georgia - it was a two step process.

I went through one line to write down my name and address and sign a piece a paper and then another as a poll worker verified my information.

Curious what other voters experienced today.
