California voter here. And since I have only voted in my area, I'm not even sure what it is like in other parts of the state. I may be able to get this word for word.

me: "Hi."
worker: "What's your name?"
me: "<name>"
worker: <looks up name>
worker: "What street do you live on?"
me: "<street name>"
worker: "Here you go. Sign here. Here's your ballet."
I'm not even joking. Anyone could come in...and start spouting off names/streets. You could dumpster dive and get any info you need. Your neighbors are out of town? Vote for them. Easy easy easy.
I know full well that my own experiences have tainted my whole idea about the identification...because a High School has more stringent Field Trip Permission Slip security measures. And I know, from being told in person, that people vote multiple times. And even better, I overheard two people laughing about how they got in "5 or 6" votes each for Obama last time around.

I have no idea how anybody of any political persuasion could think that is ok. That seems so strange to me hearing that. I really had no idea since it has never been an issue in Michigan.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

I've never understood the argument that seems to indicate blacks can't get an ID.
