The last 2 or 3 elections, I don't remember having to show any IDThe last election there were handheld scanners at the check in table that could verify the DL to be valid.

Yup. Give your name and they look you up. That's it.The last 2 or 3 elections, I don't remember having to show any ID
They were at the provisional/same day registration table.In Maryland?
They certainly weren't using one at the polling place I use.
The law says that's all they can do.Yup. Give your name and they look you up. That's it.
Used for same day registration, to receive a real ID you had to provide birth cert and proof of address which you need to register.The last 2 or 3 elections, I don't remember having to show any ID
Okay, I see that. I will never understand why an ID is not required when you vote, seems to me it just one of many avenues to use for cheating.Used for same day registration, to receive a real ID you had to provide birth cert and proof of address which you need to register.
Just scanning the ID would be easier with people mumbling, accents, strange spellings and hyphenated names. You can also become a poll worker in your precinct where you know most people.Okay, I see that.

So when massive discrepancies all over the county began cropping up - yeah, it looked like a lot of cheating. After all, you win Maricopa, you've mostly won the state. Imagine my surprise when the same crap happened AGAIN, in 2022 - same county.
You get around, doncha?I haven't been asked for ID in the past, even when I had it ready to present. Most cases, the person and I were already familiar with each other.
I'm a come-downer. I've been here 50 years, but still considered an outsider. You gotta love the ass backwards 7D. I've still never been asked to present an ID to vote.I haven't been asked for ID in the past, even when I had it ready to present. Most cases, the person and I were already familiar with each other.

I've been here 33 years and married 7D. My voting is at Hollywood ES, where my daughter went to school K-5, so the other locals and I have been around each other in some way or another.I'm a come-downer.

I can’t get to the full report. Was it one guy voting more than once - or was it the truck driver who delivered tens of thousands of ballots already filled out, who drove to PA from NY?You say there was so much fraud...yet only one person got reward money from Lt. Gov Dan Patrick's bounty program. And it was a republican who committed the fraud. So much projection!!
Report: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick hands out first voter fraud reward
A Pennsylvania poll worker received Patrick's first $25,000 after he provided evidence of alleged voter fraud by a registered Republican.www.kvue.com
This is why I have doubts about much of the election - for example, Maricopa County, Arizona. It voted for FDR - and I think maybe Truman - but otherwise has voted Republican in every other election since Arizona became a state (maybe voted for Wilson, too).
Not so fast, Thats a Federal Law for First Time Voters.The last election there were handheld scanners at the check in table that could verify the DL to be valid.
That was they were used for, first time voters, not the regular voters. When you get your DL you also must prove to the state who you are and where you live. Scanning just confirms it for registration. You are correct that showing ID is not required for the vast majority of voters in Maryland,.Not so fast, Thats a Federal Law for First Time Voters.
When you register to vote or vote for the first time in a federal election (Presidential or Congressional elections) in your state, you must prove who you are.
After that one needs to show NO ID to Vote in Maryland.
In Maryland there is a paper trail of every vote cast in person. The oath you sign attesting you are the proper legal voter. Then there's the paper ballot you fill out that is kept inbox a secured after scanning, even the touchscreen machines don't tally votes, they just print out a ballot that the scanners can read. The scanners even checks for errors and let's you amend your ballot, which is not available with mail ins.
In Maryland, all mail ins must be transcribed by hand onto a ballot that can be read by the scanners. Are you willing to trust this? Because in some jurisdictions people think everything is racist and the patriarchy must be destroyed. A good number of mail ins are damaged by the postal process that can lead to a lost vote and there are errors that can cause votes to be voided.
If you can't make it in person for the week of early in person voting nor the general election day, where you can vote at any polling place in the state. Then I guess you don't want to vote.
