NO ID'S HAVE TO BE SHOWN AT THE POLLS

The first thing I was asked at the voting poll at Summit Bank was to present my ID. I stated you cannot ask for my ID. You know, Arkansas Supreme Court and all. The Voter ID law was struck down. She then stated I didn't have to present it. I told her I thought she had the process backward. Ask may name, spell it, and find it on the voter registration. If it's not there, then proceed with whatever you need to do. Don't try to make your job easier by side-stepping the law. A gentleman came over and asked if there was a problem. I said yes, you are violating the law. He tried to smooth it over. I said I would call the voting commission in Saline Co., for an explanation. I called the election commission. The gentleman stated the new voter ID law was struck down, so they reverted back to the old law, which states they can ask for an ID, but you don't have to present it. Helps speed the process. You can still vote. I said that seems back-asswards. A confusing bit of political work which seems to be a sign of the times. Confuse everyone so they don't want to do anything, in this case, so they don't vote. He agreed. He thought it was confusing and back-asswards. In the end, I guess they did what they were suppose to do: confuse me.
