In Vermont, at least until the last election I worked in 2002, we never checked anyone's ID when they came in to vote. Weren't even allowed to ask for it.

This recent primary, in Florida, I was asked for my voter registration card, a picture ID and had to confirm my current address.

Is this procedure now nationwide? If not, Florida is certainly doing a good job of screening voters

I believe that the rules are set up 'by district', rather than statewide. So you end up with repub districts requiring documentation and ID, and dem districts requiring no ID at all.

And you know what happens next...

You have always had to show ID in FL.

Not nationwide that I'm aware of..... Louisiana requires a picture ID but I don't know how stickly it's enforced. In Texas you can go to your precinct and vote without your registration card by producing a valid Driver's License with current address and if it matches what's on the registration rolls then you are allowed to vote.
