One of the VA valid IDs (http://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ballot/in-person-voting/) is:
“Employee identification card containing a photograph of the voter and
issued by an employer of the voter in the ordinary course of the
employer’s business.”
I thought it odd that someone with their own company could print their own ID, and there wouldn’t be any real way to check its validity.
When I voted I tried using my work ID. I got some pushback when the poll worker asked for a drivers license instead, but I insisted that the rules said it was OK. She futzed around a bit and looked it up and approved it, but she treated it as an unusual occurrence–she hadn’t seen one used that day.
My ID didn’t have an address, just my photo, name, and the logo and name of my employer.
This particular opening in the law makes it pretty easy for someone to print their own photo ID. A business owner could easily print an ID for their aged plant-watering aunt, and my daughter could print out an ID for her lemonade stand business, and both IDs should be accepted as a photo ID.
I don’t think the state has put the word out about this embarrassingly insecure means of obtaining ID.
Don’t worry …
If there’s a way to further restrict " those people " from voting …
They will —
