Wow. In Pennsylvania, you just have to show up and tell them your
name.  Then they check for your name in the voter rolls to see whether
such a voter exists and whether or not they'd already voted that day.
They don't check any ID at all, but they do have you sign a card. You
think they analyse all the signatures afterwards?  They apparently
have no idea whether you've moved away or not, or even if you're dead...

I didn't know any state required ID to vote, and I'm surprised because
of all the furor that arises when someone suggests making it mandatory
nationally.  Some nonsense about "disenfranchisement"...
