I live in Illinois and have never been asked for an ID.
vote again, if you can.
WHAT?????? They need to ask EVERYONE for ID!!!! I just voted (MO) and they checked my ID! I’m glad they did! It made me feel a lot more comfortable!
Plenty of out-of-state plates at the polling place here in my swing-state. Plus, umm, how shall I phrase this? Quite a different demographic than I normally see in the neighborhood.
I haven’t voted yet today, but in the primary, I was asked for ID in GA.
Don’t worry, I live in a town with about 2,700 total population. I still have plenty of time. :)
[I voted Saturday & they didnt even ask for my i.d!]
Voter fraud run amuk and Jennifer Brunner has helped her fellow democrats and her man Obama steal the election.
Sad thing, no one in the republican party can stop these monsters, they are simply to weak and scared to stop the fascist communist democrat party from fixing the election if they can. The dems are fools and communists and evil, but they do walk lockstep nazi like and only God can stop them now.
And He will when the due time is come.
ID is required in Ohio.
When You Vote, Bring I.D.
Election Day Voting
* A current and valid photo identification (i.e. Ohio driver’s license, state ID card, government ID). Photo identification must show name and address (does not need to be current address for driver’s license or state id card); or
* A military identification that shows the voter’s name. (Does not need to show address); or
* A copy of a current utility bill (including cell phone bill), bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and current address (including from a public college or university).

When I lived in California if you could breath you got to vote.
Of course in Chicago being alive is not a requirement.
Since today is election day, there should be poll watchers keeping an eye on this.
California resident - never asked for an ID.
Everytime I have voted here in Kentucky they check your i.d. with the log book (name, address, s.s.#), making sure info. is the same. Then, we sign the log book before we go into the voting booth.
I never got asked for ID in NY either. However, in our small town everyone knows everyone else and the discussion inevitably gets around to this subject and everyone there thinks that showing ID should be mandatory.
The fix is in in Ohio.
“”I had to fill out an absentee ballot””
Why did you have to fill out an absentee ballot if you went there to vote?
GA requires ID for voting.
Should be Federal Law. I am in PA and was asked for it this morning.
If this is true, then the local elections officials are in violation of the law. You have to show photo I.D. WITH an address that matches the voter registration, and then you have to sign the voter registration next to your signature that you provided before you are give an access card or paper ballot. At least that’s how it’s done in my county. If you don’t have a photo I.D., two forms of I.D. are required showing your address. Of course these are probably being circumvented in the heavily democratic area like Cleveland. I’d also bet on plenty of fraud in Columbus. Early reports have lots of college students voting, which is fine if they are actually Ohio residents, but I doubt a lot of them are.
PLEASE call your republican HQ in your town right away. Here in my little town in Missouri, they have an equal amount of Republicans and Democrats working the polls.
SOMEBODY on our side WILL care enough to correct that right away!!!
Why don’t all us FReepers have our ID’s in hand—even if we aren’t asked to display them—when we approach the polls? T’would be a sign that a few of us are out and about... I did that earlier this morning in the upstate People’s Republic of NY. It would not cost us any extra $$...and it just might give pause to those who might be gaming the system.
I voted in Greene County Ohio.
Very orderly.
They asked for an ID.
