Voted in Cheeseadland (Wisconsin) around 8:45. I was number 30, which may not be bad for my polling place, where voting is usually light. No poll watchers. Very light rain and cloudy, not cold at all.

Gave my address, and the worker, as usual, couldn't pronounce my name correctly so I spelled it for her. No ID needed.

I could, if I wanted to, go vote somewhere else since we have same day voting and I do have mail with other addresses printed on it, such as my office address. I personally probably couldn't get away with being someone else since I am somewhat known, but I could use my own name and vote in more than one place.

Maybe someday something will be done to tighten up that system.

I remember you from an old thread I have bookmarked. Vote Green?

mafree, good on you! Interesting that your poll worker asked you for your address. When I voted in Waukesha County, the poll worker just asked me if I lived at such and such street. I said yes (it was true). Anyone could have gone in there, said they were me, and voted in my place. No ID check, nothing. Something must be done to verify that people voting are who they say they are.

Mafree, I am pinging phikapmom regarding the lax system in you are referring to. There are other states with the same problem regarding no I.D. requirement.

The illegals in Florida will be upset when they have no photo id to produce and are turned away, hopefully.
