My SIL who lives in FL told me that if on election day the address on your ID MUST match
the address they have for you at your polling location or you cannot vote. True or false?

She just woke up to what's going on politically so I have to cut her some slack.

2. From the Division of Elections website:
"I.D. required and checked at the polls is used solely to confirm the voter’s identity, not to verify the voter’s ID number or
address. The photograph on the ID is compared to the person standing before the poll worker and the signature on the ID
is compared to the signature on record."


But FL law does require you get a new ID within ten days of getting a new address, and they do ticket for it, so get it changed, anyway!

You can change your address online with the DoE here:

6. False.
There's a video in political videos you might want to send her, specifically for Florida. Saw it the other day. Try to search for it.

7. Obama should mention this issue in the next debate or if he buys that prime time airtime.
He should say that, no, police won't be waiting at the polls to arrest people with outstanding warrants. Even if you have a problem at the polls, you should be able to cast a provisional ballot. Basically, he should let people know that there are a lot of people spreading lies, but it's all just a bunch of people trying to intimidate people from voting for him.
