I have voted in every election since I came of age, you moran. I am simply asking YOU how someone working at a polling place can verify that the person standing in front of them is who they claim they are without an offical ID. AND, if they cannot prove this, WHY should they be allowed to vote? Voting rights should and are reserved for US citizens alone.
See, there's that imaginary scenario of gobs of illegals voting behind your statement.
You prove your citizenship long before election day when you register. So forget this hypothetical fantasy of yours about non-US citizens voting on Election Day.
What remains after that crap is cleared away is a case of someone who is not you showing up on Election Day and claiming to be you and voting in your name.
This is called "in person fraud" and is extremely rare, for obvious reasons. Well, obvious to any thinking person.
If someone votes as you, and then you come along later to vote, all hell breaks loose. That is why it is so rare.
And there is no evidence in person fraud occurs on a largescale level. Not even close to swinging elections. It would require an army of people committing in person fraud to make a difference in an election, but that presents an obvious logistics problem as such an army would be caught when all those people whose votes were stolen show up to vote, too.
One other thing, why is it the only people bithcing about this are those who tend to lean left or are outright Democrats? Do Republican voters not live in rural areas not easily accessbile to a Government center where IDs can be had or something?
Again, you are wrong. I am a paleo-Conservative lifelong Republican. I was a Conservative in the 70s when being a Conservative wasn't cool.

Please describe to us how citizenship is verified during voter registration? What do prospective voters have to do to verify their eligibility to vote?
Be specific, as it is YOUR claim.
