FUCK showing ID at the polls. I refused today and still got to vote.

[HopeHoops]

If you haven't voted, just say no when they ask you for ID.

We need to work to get this revoked before November. It is disenfranchisement in red letters on the side of a GoodYear blimp. No, no, and no.

1. Good for you, my dear HopeHoops!

[emilyg]

2. I don't mind showing ID

[stopbush]

3. Just curious if you fall into a demo that has been targeted for voter suppression.

If you're a middle- or senior-aged white guy, they may have let you through. What happens if you're a minority or a student?

[HopeHoops]

4. I look like Tommy Chong. I'm not sure how that factors in, but it has to.

[MrDiaz]

5. yea

I never understood why you are required to prove your a U.S. Citizen just to vote in U.S. elections.

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. You forgot the "Sarcism Off" thingy ...

But I'll tell you why ... Proof of citizenship is required to get on the voter rolls to start with ... Why would you have to prove it over and over again.

7. Was actually good they were asking - to get people ready in case it is not overturned

The poll workers were actually doing everyone a favor by asking for ID this time, when it was not required. Hopefully the law suit will be successful to at least delay the law until after November. However, IF the law is in effect in November, it is great that some people had a warning this time.

8. I was all ready to refuse this time, but

none of the poll workers asked me for ID. They did hand me a piece of paper with the new rules for November, but they did not ask. In the paper today, they said that there was only one person in our county who objected---but I figure that was the only person that the poll workers reported.

I was disappointed in not being able to express my disgust with this new law, but then I figured that it is possible that the poll workers I had were also not fans so were not going to harass people until it is law to do so.

[HopeHoops]

9. In one of the local counties they were told to "randomly" ask if lines get long.

I'm sure that went over well.

[Curmudgeoness]

12. Bwahaha. No long line at my poll location.

The parking lot just had the few poll worker cars in it, not another soul there but poll workers from when I walked in to when I left. Really a sad commentary on US voters.

[HopeHoops]

14. One other person came in to vote while I was there. Yes, sad commentary.

[MH1]

10. Most poll workers I've spoken with are NOT fans of the voter id law.

A poll worker's day is long enough and hard enough (especially in a high turnout election like November will be), that they don't need this unnecessary bullsh*t.

I speak as one who's been there, and have also spoken to current pollworkers (many republicans).

[MH1]

11. They were supposed to ask this time, but allow people to vote

even if the person did not show i.d.

I heard on NPR a spokesman of the ACLU saying that protesting this requirement at the polls is NOT helpful. They prefer that you help get the word out about it. We need people to be able to vote in November, even if this law is still in place.

[Curmudgeoness]

13. ^^^ This ^^^

In the end, we need people to know that they will need ID at the polls. And we need to start that process right now for people who do not have photo ID already, because they are playing games with timetables for required documents already. It will only get worse.

And since so few people voted in the primary, and even fewer Dems, they will not have been made aware of this.

[blue neen]

17. The ID information needs to be spread far and wide.

Protesting at this point will not help...action will.

It is quite likely that the Republicans who are running PA were counting on a low voter turnout in the primary.

[MrMickeysMom]

15. While you're trying to get the IDs....

Be sure to report general primary problems with election fraud.

I just poll watched and witness pole workers (some new, some not, and a judge who should have known better) let people pick their party on the iVotronics screen before voting.

As a result, the number of registered R and D's didn't match. I called them on it, and they looked blankly at me.

This is happened when VOTER fraud IS NOT. We are looking at the wrong fraud.

Please follow through with all your complaints if you experienced this.... I can't be seeing this alone in PA.

[HopeHoops]

16. That's how NH works, but I haven't seen evidence of it in PA.
