Fun Stuff > CHATTER
2012 Election

I think we get a thing in the post that we have to show. I can't remember if showing ID is an alternative, but I think it is. I can see that ID laws would cause problems, but then again, you would probably be able to prevent this stuff.

Sure, but once again, it's something that happens 15 - 20 times a year at most. The only voter fraud that happens in any meaningful way involve absentee ballots and other forms of non in-person voting, and even those have safety measures.

Shady Shit in AZ.
Gotta say, I was worried about this, when before any results were even in, it was being reported that a lot of people that had registered specifically to vote against Arpaio (Our dictator limelight seeking sheriff in this county) were being told they could only vote provisionally - and those votes didn't count in the actual sheriff's election.
This is a big problem, given how MANY of them there are.
It doesn't look good at all. :x

Also, what some states do now prevents this. In NYS when you register to vote you sign the form, and when you go to vote there is a book that lists all the people eligible to vote in that district and it shows their signature from their registration form. When you sign in to vote they cover the half with the signature and you sign the other side. IF the signatures match you are good to go. No photo ID, no hassle. While you could forge someone else's signature, learning to write the signatures of 100 people would not be feasible. It seems like it would actually be harder to do than get 100 fake IDs. Most college undergrads can get a fake ID pretty easily.
Jace:
huh. I guess that means I'll probably never be able to vote since I have an incredibly inconsistent signature.
