I'll give you a bump for that. You're a nice lady.

Re: Make Sure You Have Valid Photo ID!
You need two forms of ID to register to vote, one federal and one with a signature and proof of residence. Penalties for fraud are stiff; so don't register if you're not a citizen or don't live in that precinct...there's no money in it...little to gain and a lot to lose. That's why the rate of in-person voter fraud is lower than 0.2 cases per State per decade.
In prior years (at least in my State) when you went to the polls to vote, you showed your registration card, and signed your name. Your signature was then compared to the one on the registration form. If they matched you were given a ballot.
This year, in many States, when you go to the polls to vote you will have to present specially requested forms of ID. The IDs you used to register will not be sufficient. In other words, unlike those voting absentee, you will have to once again prove you are eligible to vote but this time but with different forms of certification. This year voters are being ask to prove their eligibility twice using different forms of certification each time. If we have to prove our eligibility at the polls, then what is the point of registration? What is the point of the double filter when there is no in-person voter fraud to speak occurring. In Pennsylvania the supporters of the law were unable to present even one case of in-person voter fraud. Not one case. Zero. Nada. Meanwhile, because of the nearness of the law's passage to the election in early November, it is estimated that 700 000 Pennsylvanians may be disenfranchised by the law. Republican majority leader Mike Turzai of Pennsylvania admitted the law was designed to suppress the democratic vote and secure the State for Romney.
Please make sure you have the necessary papers in order well before the election. Don't be disenfranchised by these new disingenuous tactics to suppress your right to vote.

If you live in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Lousiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Dakota or Tennessee and want to vote this year, make sure you have current valid photo ID, as it is now required in these states. Make sure your friends and family have ID as well.
This is especially critical if you live in one of these states that could go either way in this year's election. (Let's face it, we already know how Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee will be voting)
Also, if you live in Florida, make sure you are still registered to vote. They've been purging people from the rolls for political reasons.
Pass it along.
(Yes, this should probably go in the politics forum, but who actually goes there?)
