[EL] D.C. requires voters at polls to sign a register

[Jerry Wei]

Voters in DC also are asked to confirm their address upon check-in. If they
cannot name their address on the voter register, the voter fills out a
special ballot pending an official government or institutional document
proving address.

It was probably easy for Project Veritas to find Holder's home address, but
it would be much harder for someone/an organization intending to affect an
election using impersonation fraud to accumulate enough addresses and match
them to registered voters to make much of a difference in the result.
