I could have been anyone using a fake ID and I rolled right through.…
I've worked as a poll worker before. There's really no attempt to match the person to the photo. If the OCR code on the license scans, it gets entered. If they present a LTC the address gets entered and if it matches, they vote. Same for other types of ID. The only real check is that whomever is registered at that address only gets to vote once. Yes, if someone else took the ID and came in to vote, they probably wouldn't get caught. But, there are no extra votes being cast.
So a daughter could very possibly take her mother's ID and vote. It would be wrong, but those types of activities aren't the things keeping most people awake at night. Collecting absentee ballots at senior centers or nursing homes worries me much more than someone wearing a mask to vote in person.
