Actually, under HAVA, you CAN'T ask for an ID when a person asks for a
ballot. You can only demand ID at the voter registration table. 

I actually have experience in elections, Robbie. I have actually read
the laws.

They are supposed to ask for ID WHEN YOU REGISTER. HAVA says no ID
checks when people ask for ballots.

COUNTING FRAUD. Completely different from voter fraud. Pull your head
out and read next time.
