Michigan also has noID required.

With or without ID, I think most states require the voter fill out a form that has personal info (DOB, address, phone, etc.) before he can vote.

Poll workers are supposed to verify the info on the form with the info in the offiial log of registered voters. Challengers can ask to witness this comparison - challengers have a RIGHT to view any and all pages of the book of registered voters and the info on the would-be voters form. If the inof does not match, a challnger can demand that ballot be marked as challenged with a note as to why. If the election is close, that ballot can be open to legal challenge and possibly voided.

Things to look for: a group of voters arriving together as a group - check the info on their forms very closely - it may just be a DemonRAT vote-fraud-squad (in their case their squads try to commit the fraud rather than prvent it).

Hypothetical (I hope) question: My husband has already voted by absentee ballot, but I'm assuming his name will still show up on the printout list of registered voters at the polls. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to come in and sign his name and vote in his place, thus canceling out or superceding his absentee vote?

Are there any safeguards in place to prevent this from happening to absentee voters? (We're in MN, BTW)

A couple of questions:

People can get false IDs, addresses, etc. What if they find out that someone is not a citizen after he/she has cast his/her vote?

Is there any way to invalidate a ballot cast by someone who is not eligible?

Seems to me that once a vote has entered the system, there is no way to identify who it came from without violating the principle of "secret" balloting.
