    Wow, I'm getting tweets from folks asking "I showed ID to vote, what's the problem with being required to show ID to vote?"

        @avantgame In WA, it costs $45 to get an id, plus trip to DOL. For elder, sick, poor, both can be hard. Happily, WA has mail-in voting!

        @avantgame just watched folks showing ID w/o being asked in CA (no voterID req). Perception that it's req'd is insidious.

        @avantgame It's pretty standard in Canada. You also have to provide a proof of address if you're not registered.

        @avantgame Weird, there are parts of the states where you don't have to show ID? That just seems bizarre.

        @ZibbyZ I have to say, that blows my mind. You have to show ID so often in Canada, you have to have it. But healthcards count, so ....

        @analyticeye When you vote, you tell your name, confirm your address and they give you a ballot. If you send it in you fill it out & sign it

        @analyticeye if for some reason you are not on the list of registered voters you fill out a provisional ballot - to be checked out later

        @avantgame This subject is killing me today. How do people not grasp that voter fraud is virtually a myth and it's all about suppression?
