Pls get word out to PA contact list - don't leave without voting!!

I'm reading many Tweets about people being asked to show ID by non-election officials outside of voting places all over Pennsylvania. Please e-mail, FB, Tweet to all you know in PA they don't have to show photo ID, especially don't have to show ANYTHING to anyone outside of the voting place!!

She'll have to show ID because it's her first time voting in person at this polling place. My wife and I will both refuse.

or if you just moved to that division/precinct, you DO have to show some proof of who you are - but just that one time at that polling site. For anyone else, they are supposedly allowed to "ask" for it (per the ridiculous ruling) but you are NOT required to show it.

There are people on the outside asking for ID to a select 'few' (mostly AA) and that is making people turn away. Although I've read 2 posts about officials on the inside asking everyone for ID and also that they are now telling the True the Vote people on the outside to stop their antics.

This is just disgusting to me.
