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

[Jack Santucci]

Actually, some dignitaries' addresses are not listed in the precinct
pollbook. I assume that this is out of concern for their safety. I do not
know how the check-in clerk goes about verifying their addresses in such
cases.

Authority: three recent tours as a precinct captain/assistant precinct
captain in the District of Columbia.
