Where I live in Mass., I give my name and address at one table, vote, then give my name and address again at another table where I turn in my completed ballot. Here's the key: THEY DO NOT ASK FOR ID. Anyone could easily spot my name in the phone book, go to my polling place, and say that they're me. They don't ask for your driver's license or any other proof of ID. So if that should happen,
what if I show up at my precinct's polling place...only to be told, "I'm sorry, sir, we have your name crossed off
already. You already voted."

We have a similar system for voting (I'm in PA). I think most places do. Only first time voters need to show ID per fed law passed after the 2000 mess. Republicans wanted everyone to show ID.

The Republican house in PA passed an ID requirement. In both cases, state and fed, Democrats screamed "disenfranchisement!" because poor Blacks and elderly don't have ID's. That has to be be total BS but the argument won in the Congress and with the cowardly PA Senate republicans who wouldn't move the legislation out of committee.
