I haven't had to show any ID to vote. I show up. Tell them my name. They confirm the address to make sure it's the right Eric Roberts (common name) and then I vote.

I am not saying that this is something that happens frequently, but if people can go vote without showing _any_ kind of ID, I can see where it could (and probably would) be exploited...by both sides. BTW - When I go buy beer in town I have to show my ID EVERY time - at the super market, as well as restaurants - and I stopped looking like a teenager long, long ago. Maybe its a state or county law that they card everyone, who knows, but I get asked EVERY time. On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 12:45 AM, Dana <dana.tier...@gmail.com> wrote: > > hmm.
