My voting experience

Waited about an hour to vote, and the guy right in front of me was not registered, and admitted to the poll workers that his drivers’ license was clipped, but the poll worker said his passport would work.

Given that the license is clipped when it is no longer valid (upon expiration or moving), and a passport simply says where you lived up to 10 years ago, I suspect I voted right after a guy who had no right to cast a ballot. 

Sigh.  Also interesting; the guy and his girlfriend seemed to have no clue of why the electoral college was implemented or important.  I’d have to guess that they cast a few extra votes for Obama.

If you wonder why ID requirements for voting are important, this is why.
