37. When I voted this spring, they asked me for my drivers license. I told the poll
worker that DL was not required, as I had my permanent voter id card. She continued to argue with me and said something like one of the congressmen had told them. I continued to argue but eventually showed her my DL so I could vote. I immediately called ACLU and they referred me to an 800 voter protection line to report it, which I did in detail with the name of the 'election judge' that I spoke with, but never heard back from them. Wish I had stood up like galloglas. It will certainly bring it to the attention of people more than my 'report'. Today when I went to vote, I again took my voter id and this time they did not ask for anything more, however I was juggling my 1 year old and 4 year old granddaughters, and they were talking to them and I guess decided not to pursue it? galloglas' son called me and I was talking to him on the cell while the cops were arresting his dad. They threatened to arrest him, too, if he didn't leave the premises. He had the board of election on another cell and they wanted to talk to the cops and the cops said no and told him to get off the property! I hate our city cops. They have a significant history! :kick: for galloglas!!
