KTLA in Los Angeles

Their reporter Wendy Burch was just reporting live on-air that you need to bring a photo ID with you to the polls. California has no voter ID law. I don't understand how these reporters are allowed to spew anything without fact checking first.

only if you are a new registrant and didn't provide a Driver's license or Social Security number on your form. Again, California has NO voter ID law.

As for your question "I don't understand how these reporters are allowed to spew anything without fact checking first." Ever heard of Fox News?
