It still works for me. They must limit access by IP address.

You may be able to find more interesting information about our election process at the California Secretary of State site.

Evan, I totally agree with this. I don't see forcing people to get picture ID, but then they don't have to participate. Same thing goes with a driver's license: you don't need one to drive a car, but if you want to drive on public roads, then you have to have one.

I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but a national ID card would solve a lot of these problems. Make it optional; you'd only need one to vote, drive on public roads, airline travel, own a firearm...that sort of thing.

Okay, I'm ducking.

When I walked in, the clerk said "Hi Terry, how are you today", then she proceeded to ask me about our Prius as she was paging through the book for my name. Gota love small towns.

 

Here in Texas you must have your voter registration card and/or photo ID to vote. No card, no ID, no vote. New cards are automatically sent every two years, I think...I can see my card on the fridge, but don't want to go check.

Hey, but we're a 5 hybrid town, 3 Prius, 1 Insight, and 1 Accord hybrid.

 

Since Voter ID seems to go against the far left of the Democrat party – read Pelosi – does that mean they are now going to do a Lieberman on former President Jimmy Carter and kick him out of the party too? :lol:

Warning that public confidence in the nation's election system is flagging, a commission headed by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of state James A. Baker III today will call for significant changes in how Americans vote, including photo IDs for all voters, verifiable paper trails for electronic voting machines and impartial administration of elections.

And here in California, we have a Voter ID bill working its way through the legislature – AB 1855.

This bill would . . . would permit a voter who is unable to present proof of identity to cast a provisional ballot.

So who could possibly be opposed to that??????
The ACLU.
