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

[JBoppjr at aol.com]

Also on the video is the impersonator asking what would happen if the  
signatures don't match and the poll worker said he could still vote.  They  
seemed to have anticipated all the objections.  Jim

If you  view the video, the poll worker asks the impersonator to sign the
poll  book, at which point he says he would feel more comfortable showing an
id,  needs to go get it, and walks out.

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

I just phoned the District of Columbia Board of Elections, and  was told 
that
when voters appear at a polling place, they must sign a  register in order 
to
receive a ballot.  This is relevant to the  message this morning that 
someone
walked into a polling place in D.C. at  the April 3 primary and falsely
claimed to be US Attorney General Eric  Holder.  The person did not follow
through and actually attempt to  vote.  But in order for him to receive a
ballot, he would have had to  sign in, and his signature could later have
been compared to the real Eric  Holder's signature on voter registration
records.
