individuals presenting a valid “voter registration certificate, certified birth certificate, a current utility bill, a bank statement, a government check, a paycheck, or any other government document that displays the voter’s name and an address and complete and sign a reasonable impediment declaration shall be permitted” to vote a regular ballot as well.
The agreement also specifies that voters declaring an inability to acquire proper photo ID in time for the election cannot be questioned by election officials unless “conclusive evidence” is presented to demonstrate that an identity is being falsified. Further, identifying documents provided at check-in do not have to match addresses shown in the registry of voters
Any document that displays a voter's name and an address can be used for voter check-in. Address doesn't have to match that of the voter's registration.

Just curious if anyone on this forum has voted without an ID before? I'm relatively young still. I guess that I could imagine showing up to a polling place telling the person my name and having them check me off of their list. I'm sure that in the smaller towns many voters know all of the election volunteers at the polling place. I've had a government issued photo ID probably since I was 12 or 13 years old.

I have several times in the past. I told the volunteer my name and address, he or she looked me up on the voter roll and sent me to get a ballot. She had no idea if I was the person whom I said I was. I prefer to show my ID to get a ballot as I believe it helps ensure a fairer election. It just takes one fraudulently cast ballot to cancel mine out.

Re: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals - TX voter ID law

The progressive democrat hypocrisy drives me nuts. So, it's racist to require an ID to vote but not to attend DNC?

I realize there is a long, proud tradtion in our DNA of "you can't make me!" but really, given the equally, and maybe even more, important stake in the integrity of our votes, what's the objection?

The Communists formerly known as Democrats have a long rich history of election rigging. At my former polling place in California, anyone could walk in, say they were me and get a ballot. There is no effective means of determining eligibility to vote, or establishing who is voting. One of my pals, not a US citizen, could have cast a ballot. No one would really know. As prevalent as ID theft has become, it is appalling, and unacceptable, to be unable to be sure that only eligible voters vote, and only once and that it is really them voting.
You'll have to ask the 5th Circuit and the progressive dems. I support an ID to vote 100%.
