Funny, I went in to vote today during my lunchbreak. I was somewhat worried because I hadn't gotten my voter information guide this time around (I'm guessing I tossed it with all the rest of the spam mail I get), and my drivers license lists a different address than my current address (the one I'm currently registered at.)
So I find my correct line, pull out my wallet, walk up to the bluehair overseeing The Big Book, and give her my name. Looking down, I see it, point to it, and she says "oh, sign here please."
I do so, she hands me a ballot, and I start voting. As I'm hanging my chads, it occurs to me that at no time did I present any form of identification whatsoever. This has been bothering me all afternoon. Seems like an open invitation for voter fraud.
