I have volunteered as a poll clerk for a number of years, here in California. One of the very first things you are told, at the training, is you are NOT to ask for ID before a person votes. If their name is not on the roll, they get a provisional ballot. With the provisional ballot, the person receives a phone number to call to find out if their ballot was valid. If not, then why is was not counted.

Occasionally on the voter rolls, there will be a name w/ an 'ID needed' note. It is almost always a kid who just turned 18 and is voting for the first time. When a person registers to vote in CA you provide either your SS # or your CA Driver's License #. It is the Registrar of Voters JOB to verify those numbers.

The only election recently, when charges of voter fraud/illegal voting charges were flying fast and furious was when Loretta Sanchez defeated B-1 Bob doofus. The rethugs tried every way imaginable to deny her victory. There was no voter fraud and no massive illegal alien voting ever proven. There was the case of rethug in Anaheim, Pringle, hiring private security guards to show up at select polling places (Hispanic neighborhoods) to 'guard' the polling places. Just 2 years ago the Orange County Rethugs paid a fine for switching many persons party preference on their voter re-registration forms.

So the only time, in California, voter/election fraud has occurred, is at the direction of the rethugs.
