I will admit my unfamiliarity with the laws governing conduct in a poll. I am a trifle confused by your stance, however. If I, as a private citizen - being neither watcher nor observer nor polling official - notice while I am being processed to vote that other people are being allowed to vote without presenting bona fides of identity and permanent residence,
EXACTLY WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE UMBRAGE AND REGISTER AN IMMEDIATE COMPLAINT??? I would think that I, as a citizen and voter, have a right to protect the potency of MY vote against dilution caused by voter fraud. The best, perhaps ONLY way to do so is by immediate complaint to the polling supervisor on the scene, right then and right there.
Please explain how this is not the case.
You should let the Supervising Official at the polling place know that someone is not doing his/her job.
If I, as voter, saw that the person in front of me was not being asked for the proper credentials, I would definitely ask why not. You cannot allow someone to vote just because someone else says "I know that person". They must have one of three legal ids to present to the worker, if none is given then the worker should then, get the poll supervisor to handle it from there.
