Besides, how well do you think that poll workers are checking IDs in the precincts that we are worried about anyhow? Who do you think works the polls? Hard-core right wingers who take off work all day for the two weeks of early voting? Conservative stay-at-home moms with little kids? I don't think so.
If voting accomplished anything, they would outlaw it.
I can't say these practices have snuffed out cheating but certainly seem to go a long way. Of course, at the primary this spring, the lines were for Republicans. I felt sorry for the Democrat poll workers, who were sitting around with no customers.
I thought it was funny myself when I went to the primaries, they had an older gentleman handing out the Republican ballots, and an attractive younger woman handing out Democrat, The older gentleman, kept having to go back and get more ballots while the younger woman stood there smiling but had no takers.
