say, yes, I had photo ID, but not with me, since I know the *law* says I didn't need to show it.

Can't help wondering if my absentee straight Dem ticket will ever see the light of day, though.

And there were people standing in line behind me with IDs in their hands. They looked old enough that this was likely NOT their first vote. I was not asked for ID, just gave my name and signed the book. Chester county usually votes reddish, if I remember correctly...

I didn't offer my ID and they didn't ask. Same for my wife.

There was no line at approx 2:50 PM.

Two precincts vote in the same building, ours was up to 717, the other up to 559 voters.

Our precinct used to be all red, now it's about 50% blue for Presidential elections the last few times.

I needed ID as it was my first time in this district. But they were not asking anyone who did not have the "ID Required" watermark.

No lines, no wait. The dude passing out the republican sample ballots even held the door for me.

Wife noticed the same when she voted later.

God I love voting. Feels like I'm a part of something so much bigger.

but they can't stop you from voting without it, under court order. So the correct response is "F&(% You!"

the clerk didn't even blink, just handed me the book to sign. they tried to give me a paper about I.D., and I said (nicely, not snapping) "I'm the democratic committeewoman for this precinct, I know what's going on."

aI didn't snap at them, because they were really overwhelmed - we were at 60% of registered voters having voted before 11am.

They said you don't need it, but it's quicker if you have it or some crap.

Didn't ask for mine though, or my brother's.

anyone's ID, except people who were voting at that polling place for the first time.

I was feeling good about it all until it hit me that I have NO IDEA how the machine that scanned and tallied my paper ballot had scored it. There is NO provision at all for vote verification.

It truly is a black box, and I have zero faith in it.

This is not the first year we've voted this way (paper ballot scanned electronically), but it's the first year the enormity of the lack of verification hit me.

The poll worker who asked you for the ID should NOT be working there. What would happen if you did not know the rules and that worker told you that you can't vote without an ID?
