Even though I just walk to the polling place

Pull out your ID with your middle finger in front, extended over your picture.

since I plan on voting mid morning, the sight of a full moon at that hour will just confuse the Republicans into thinking that the Rapture must be coming.

Oops, this reply belongs down a few posts, under Olkaz

And wait for their answer...

And offer to show it to them, enthusiastically.

just to keep things running fast.

They know me there. If they ask for an ID, I'll probably say, Really?

of mine - from the 60's.

Absolutely not, just on principle, and I actually have a drivers license and another ID I could bring if I wanted to.

However, because this is the first time I've vote in PA, I will have to bring either a current utility, paycheck or government check with my name and address on it or I could bring an ID, but I won't bring an ID, I'll bring my utility bill.

First, the polling place was littered with signs, but the Obama/Biden sign was in clear view in front of the pack.

Romney sign was in the back bunched in with the rest, I really had to look for it. Foreshadowing?
I hope so!

Now:

This was my first time voting in PA, I never offered a photo ID. Instead, I presented my PA certificate of voter registration that I had received in the mail after registering to vote about 4 months ago.


Again, they never asked for a photo I.D. I never offered. Also everyone was nice.

All of my precinct workers are my neighbors - literally - and we've known each other for more than 40 years.

there is a long line. Otherwise no.

I'm not that big, so when it comes out people jump. In 2008 I had a problem with a guy behind the desk and everyone knew about it quickly. He just put his head down and said, "he can vote". Of course I wasn't finished with him.

and I was not asked for my id.

But I'll be nice since I know most of the poll officials. If I have to show I'll show my federal ID not my driver's license.

DECLINE.

"I know you can ask but I choose not to show you any ID."

I showed my ID. I don't have a problem with the ID requirement, but I'm glad it's been delayed. Too many people didn't have time to prepare.

and was not asked for ID. It was a new precinct for me too since I recently moved

I just showed my voter registration card, printed out my name on a sheet of paper they gave me, signed the book, and voted--for Obama/Biden, Sen. Casey, Matt Cartwright for Congress, and the entire Democratic ticket--one at a time.

It said the workers were required to ask "Do you have a valid ID" I answered yes. Then she said you don't have to show it. No problems at all.

I will decline if asked.

Just saw a smartphone video on WGAL channel 8 - touch screen voting...touch Obama and it put a check next to Romney!
