Fun Fact: Obama Lost in Every State with a Photo Voter-ID Law.
The Reaganite Republican ^ | November 8, 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Was the election stolen? Remember all those lawsuits by Democrats demanding that any voter identification laws be repealed? Well, now we know why they filed them. They needed to steal the vote in certain key states so that Obama could be reelected.

Curiously, Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting. A list of closely contested state elections with no voter ID, which narrowly went to Obama include: Minnesota (10), Iowa (6), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Pennsylvania (20).

This amounts to a total of 66 electoral votes. When added to Romney’s total of 205 electoral votes, that would give Romney 271 electoral votes, enough votes to win even without Ohio or Florida Romney also likely had the states of Florida and Ohio stolen from him, which don’t require photo IDs.

Ohio requires a non-photo ID. Would a library card do? Florida “requests” a photo ID, but doesn’t require it. So what happens if they request a photo ID and the illegal alien Haitian doesn’t have one? Do they just count the vote anyway?

You are incorrect

Michigan law 168.35:

Each voter must show a photo ID or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of photo identification.

An individual who does not possess, or did not bring to the polls, photo ID, may sign an affidavit and vote a regular ballot.

The rest of Florida law 101.043:

Acceptable Forms of ID:

Florida driver’s license

Florida ID card issued by the Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

U.S. passport

Debit or credit card
Military identification

Student identification

Retirement center identification

Neighborhood association ID

Public assistance identification

Not every debit and credit card has a picture on it.

Also 101.043:

If the elector fails to furnish the required identification, the elector shall be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. The canvassing board shall determine the validity of the ballot by determining whether the elector is entitled to vote at the precinct where the ballot was cast and that the elector had not already cast a ballot in the election.

Florida uses signature matching: the voter signs the provisional ballot envelope. That signature is compared to the signature in the voter registration records. If they match, the ballot is counted.

A signature verification is not a photo ID.

Ohio law §3503.16(B)(1)(a) and 3505.18(A)(1):

All voters must provide to election officials at the polling place on the day of an election proof of the voter’s identity. Also applies to voters requesting and voting an absentee ballot.

Acceptable forms of ID:

Current and valid photo identification, defined as a document that shows the individual’s name and current address, includes a photograph, includes an expiration date that has not passed, and was issued by the U.S. government or the state of Ohio

Current utility bill
Current bank statement
Current government check, paycheck or other government document

Utility bills, bank statements, paychecks, et al do not have photos on them.

For voters without ID:

A voter who has but declines to provide identification may cast a provisional ballot upon providing a social security number or the last four digits of a social security number. A voter who has neither identification nor a social security number may execute an affidavit to that effect and vote a provisional ballot. A voter who declines to sign the affidavit may still vote a provisional ballot.

Voters who cast a provisional ballot because they did not provide acceptable proof of identity must appear in person at the board of elections to provide such proof within the 10 days immediately following Election Day. (see the Ohio Secretary of State’s FAQ on provisional voting)

How strictly counties interpret or apply the law? Have to agree county by county depending on Election officials, poll workers etc...

Louisiana law §18:562:

Each applicant shall identify himself, in the presence and view of the bystanders, and present identification to the commissioners.

If the applicant does not have identification, s/he shall sign an affidavit to that effect before the commissioners, and the applicant shall provide further identification by presenting his current registration certificate, giving his date of birth or providing other information stated in the precinct register that is requested by the commissioners. However, an applicant that is allowed to vote without the picture identification required by this Paragraph is subject to challenge as provided in R.S. 18:565.
