Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[~Rocktar~]

You aren't required to have any ID to vote in Louisiana. If you lack a picture ID, you have to sign a affidavit.

Which is a statement of ID and if falsified, could land you in jail.

Which is a statement of ID and if falsified, could land you in jail.

Which goes the same in any state, fraudulent voting is illegal in all 50. Fact remains, you don't need to show a photo ID, which the graphic says you do. If it is wrong there, probably wrong in a bunch of other places.

Keep up those mental special Olympics to appear to be right and garner attention.

It isn't mental special gymnastics, you literally did not need to show any form of ID to vote in Louisiana. You can just sign an affidavit claiming to be whoever you want at the polling location. Hell, you don't even have to fill the damn thing out yourself, you can get someone else to do it for you. The graphic is wrong.

You aren't required to have any ID to vote in Louisiana. If you lack a picture ID, you have to sign a affidavit.

From the Sec of State of LA site:

Each voter is required to identify themselves by giving their name and address to a commissioner and by presenting either a Louisiana driver's license, a Louisiana special identification card, LA Wallet digital driver's license, a United States military identification card that contains the voter's name and picture or other generally recognized picture identification card that contains the name and signature of the applicant. If no photo ID is available, the voter can complete a Voter Identification Affidavit (AV-34) but is subject to challenge by law.

All registered voters may obtain a free Louisiana special identification card by presenting a voter information card to the Office of Motor Vehicles.

Yes, that is the affidavit I mentioned. You can reader further here, directly from the law.

If the applicant does not have one of the forms of identification provided in Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the applicant shall complete and sign an affidavit, which is supplied by the secretary of state, to that effect before the commissioners, which affidavit shall include the applicant's date of birth and mother's maiden name. If the applicant is unable to read or write or is otherwise unable to complete the affidavit due to disability, the applicant may receive assistance in completing the affidavit and the commissioner shall make a notation on the affidavit. The applicant may receive the assistance of any person of his choice, including a commissioner, except a candidate, commissioner-in-charge, the applicant's employer or employer's agent, or the applicant's union agent. The commissioners shall place the affidavit in the envelope marked "Registrar of Voters" and attach the envelope to the precinct register. However, an applicant who is allowed to vote without the picture identification required by Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph is subject to challenge as provided in R.S. 18:565.

Saying they don't have a voter ID law is being disingenuous though. They do.

IF you are one of the rare people who doesn't, then you can vote.. but that ballot is going to be up for legal scrutiny.

I didn't say there was no law, I said you aren't required to show ID, which you aren't. And I'd say that any part of the election process should always be up for legal scrutiny.

That being said, I've also never been asked for my license when voting, they just check my name and address, so there is probably a lot that needs some more looking at anyways.
