President Barack Obama was asked for photo identification before he could cast his ballot Thursday in Chicago.
Obama voted at 4:20 p.m. local time, “punching his choices into a touch-screen machine after signing forms and showing his driver’s license,” according to the White House press pool report.
“Now ignore the fact that there’s no gray hair on that picture,” he told the elections official. “I’m just glad I renewed my driver’s license.”
Obama also encouraged Americans to take advantage of early voting.
“For all of you who have not yet early voted, I just want everybody to see what an incredibly efficient process this was thanks to the outstanding folks who are at this particular polling place,” Obama said.
“This was really convenient,” he added, referring to the early voting process. “I can’t tell you who I voted for. But I very much appreciate everybody here. It’s good to be home back in the neighborhood.”
Obama and other Democrats — most notably, Eric Holder and other Justice Department officials — have railed against voter ID laws, claiming they serve as barriers to minority voters’ participation in the electoral process.
Obama’s Justice Department has sued several states for enacting voter ID laws like the one in place at his polling precinct. (RELATED VIDEO: Holder says DOJ blocking voter ID laws ‘not likely’ to make elections “susceptible to fraud”)
They didn’t recognize him——they thought one of the California Raisins just walked in to vote.
If they would’ve asked him for his long form birth certificate as a second form of ID; he’d be screwed.
The fraud voted for the fraud.
did anybody challenge his citizenship or right to cast a ballot in an American election?
(in which event, they would have had to give him a Provisional Ballot until he could establish he isn’t an illegal alien...and that he did have the right to vote in that precinct...)
ID is required in Illinois for early voting because the records are not at the voting site as they are for Election Day voting.
When you vote Election Day they compare your signature. One would think that this would be the way the fraud could occur.
Have people forge signatures. But this would be cumbersome and slow. Pre-loading the machines would be the quickest way to create big totals of fraudulent votes.
Obama violated Illinois Law (10 ILCS 5/7-41) by electioneering at a polling place.
(c) No person shall do any electioneering or soliciting of votes on primary day within any polling place or within one hundred feet of any polling place, or, at the option of a church or private school, on any of the property of that church or private school that is a polling place.

Someone in the state of Illinois needs to bring charges.
He'll need it on January 21, 2013 when has to drive himself to the ice cream shop in Oahu for a snow cone.
He had to get a LOT of help to use the Voting Machines!! That guy was with him almost the entire time!! WHat a MORON.
When voting in Red Hampshire back in 2004; I spied a lefty (spit) wearing a ‘Kerry 2004’ shirt inside the polling place. Reported him to the clerks, and they made him turn it inside-out. Mussed his hair up pretty bad... :-)
I've been curious about that myself.I've cast an absentee ballot already but am tempted to show up at my polling place on 11/6 to see what happens.Although I wouldn't try to actually *vote* I probably won't do so for fear that the mere act of showing up might constitute vote fraud...or attempted vote fraud.
A turd casts a ballot in $#itcago, wow.
I get to vote early too, tonight, and it will be for R&R.
Jerry Brown is making sure his beloved illegal aliens get drivers licenses here in CA so they can vote, too.
“Someone in the state of Illinois needs to bring charges.”
Like the DOJ did on the New Black Pampers in Philliy back in 2008? We know how that turned out.
In East Texas back in 2006, the poll worker failed to give me a provisional ballot and told me I could not vote because my motor voter did not go through.
I had to move to a bigger city for work in 2010, and I asked for a provisional ballot that time because I knew what to do. (I never had a problem before.)
The poll worker told me that the provisional ballot was just to make me feel good about voting, and my vote would not count.
Elections and rule of law in this country are a joke. A bad joke on good citizens.
Did Nobama show them one of his different birth certificates as proof?
How about a social security number. He has several of those too.
Passports? US? Pakistan? Whatever.
He can show them anything except verifiable proof.
Yes, I was listening to WLS radio, and they were cracking up because Obama didn’t know how to vote. They were snickering, because he just stood there for about 5 minutes with a confused look on his face. Obama finally had to call someone over to help him. Geezzz..... Leader of the free world??
Be funny if a Breitbart reporter asked him as he was leaving “How many times did they let you vote?”
