Subject: RE: BS: Lines at the Polls
By the way, I was asked only for my name. When there were duplicates of my name, they asked for my address. No ID. In fact, a large sign at the door said that it was illegal for them to require ID from a registered voter. Those registering had to provide a Driver's Licens or some proof of residence - a utility bill, a tax bill, a check book.

There were also numbers clearly posted if someone had a problem and a note that even if your vote was challenged you had the right to vote a provisional ballot with the understanding that you would probably be required to proove residence later.

I have never seen such care taken to make people's rights clear.
