Harvey, are you saying that you live in an area where they check your ID
to vote? You mean at the voting booth? I, having voted in MA, and PA and
IN, and various regions in those states, have been each time disturbed by
the fact that I have never ever been asked for any ID. All that has ever
been done is to ask my name, and they check it off on a list of registered
voters. It scares me, because anyone could say they were me and vote.
Hasn't happened, but it could.
