Uh, instead of a tiny sign with a correction, why not just TAKE THE ORIGINAL SIGN DOWN! Geez!

Why would the judge of elections not just take them down???? That is ridiculous.

Why didn't Schino remove the signs? If "no one" put them up, then who would possibly mind?

Maple Shade in Croydon is also asking for ID's.......Their excuse is....it makes it easiler to look up your name with the correct spelling..like we don't know how to spell our last names........Then how have they been getting by for the last century w/o ID's.

It prevents voter fraud! How about you go to vote and they say "sorry you already voted" then everyone is up in arms, right? Yes it's not required but you should be outraged that people don't bring I'd to vote. Do you bring it to drive in your car to get there???

Besides people who have not voted at that site prior do have to show ID. Who drives there without a license? These people getting out of line, did they walk or ride their bike?

THis will all be settled after this year when people are required to show ID, as it should be.

Maybe they did walk or ride a bike. Not everyone drives. It's a misleading sign that seems to be there to confuse or trick people. A sign indicating one is needed for first time voters would've been fine. This is wrong and should be taken down. It's that simple. Save the sign for the next election when the law goes into effect.

It's just another republican plot to keep the poor,minority,old and inflicted, who walked, rode a bus or of whom someone brought with them; to keep them from voting for the president. They know they can't win if the election is fare.

well since the dems arent working, they can remove the sign. the food stamps dont arrive until tomorrow

Why are people afraid of having ID ? It's free is it not ? I can think of only one reason. Traditional Democratic dirty politics,vote early and vote often. The only fear is an accurate count. Too often too many excuses for doing the right thing.

the reason is that freeloading dems are too lazy to get an id, thats why

When we vote we are required to show ID. I don't see anything wrong with it. It prevents voter fraud and it helps the workers look you up. some people don't even change their address. It possible they may be at the wront precinct. I take both my driver's license and my voter's registration with me everytime in case it is needed. No one had to tell me. I do it to protect myself.

ID is not free you moron. How can you make through every day life being soooooo ignorant. Voter fruits is done at the counting location and by mail. Look it up. You dummies just believe everything your told don't you

47% got the message and left?

my word you have to have id to buy cold/sinus medicine why not to vote????? THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION FOR ANY AMERICAN/CITIZEN
TO MAKE

What an ignorant comment. Dems arent the only ones unemployed, in fact, many of them work two and three jobs. As for SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps), most people on the program work, and work hard. As a matter of fact, many of those you receive this supplement are military. As an Independent, I am sickened by the rhetoric and such hate. While I do drive, and have a photo id., there are many people who do not. Driving is not a right, VOTING IS

I walked to my polling place, thank you very much. And I had ID but was not asked to show it. If I had been asked, I would have taken issue with it. BTW, "ConservativeGirl," do you vote? If so, you would know that you have to sign in and your signature must match against the one they have on file. I can certainly understand being asked for ID if my signature doesn't match, but other than that, no.

For those of you noticeable conservatives saying "You use your license to drive dont you?" clearly... you cant even use your brain to think. I know its hard but try to see the big world outside your little box. Some of us dont require licenses. Some of us are elderly and dont drive. Yea... didnt think of that one did you. My daughter is in no rush to get her license. Shes 19. I dont use a license, I dont drive. Now I realize you think you know all, but you see... this is exactly why your party failed.

Ridiculous and disgusting! Take the original sign down...it solves the problem since voter ID is NOT required for this election. It is now 3:15....is the original sign still up?

Hey American Woman....You can get a free ID, you dumbass. now go have another donut with your food stamps

How about senior citizens who misplaced it, how about people who just can't find it, or people who are victims of theft....if you drive a car, a privilege without a license in your possession they give you a week to produce it, why should people lose their RIGHT to vote...it's in the Constitution.

then you don't vote! thats the problem with you freeloading libs....take some responsibility! Don't worry, Hussein Obama will still give you lots of free crap

@pat evans, well now who's the dumbass.....you paid for something that can be had for free

Another sign that Obama and democrats are for all.......Is it ironic that people are assuming its only the 47% Romney does not care about, it's only (in their words dumbass women), who do not have IDs are proud republicans...sorry to say but this is why one needs to vote for Obama because he is for everyone, and does not call women, many of whom are smarter, harder workers, and more committed to our community than others, such names.... Women deserve respect, seniors deserve respect, everyone should be respected, and everyone should be able to vote.

I find it somewhat disconcerting that the poll judge, or someone else in authority, didn't have the common sense to simply remove the signs. Also, when I went to vote at 7 am this morning, I had to stand in line of ticked off voters for 40 minutes because the poll judge didn't show up, and whoever was second in command didn't know who to call for instructions. The poll judge finally made it.

Hope it turned away a LOT of these clowns who got scared when they saw it, good way to weed out voter fraud !! I LOVE IT !!!

i don't recall anyone saying they were Republican....but that's what Ken and his freeloaders do....assume and guess....how many cats do you have, Ken?

State ID is not free in Virginia either. Oh and Steven Long, have you not heard of the Voting Rights Act? While it may not be stated in the original Constitution, it has been an implied right. Your tone and anger are indicative of the hate and rhetoric of which I referred to....sickening.

Katherine, 2 questions...
1) How many donuts did you have today?
2) How many cats do you have?

Hi all, thanks for again resorting to personal attacks on people you do not know when discussing a serious issues.

1. Point to any example of meaningful voter fraud in us...there is none, so you are fighting a fake evil
2. As far as why do people believe republicans are saying it...simple, read the messages, they all criticize and assume those turned away are democrats, women, or the 47%....look at huge... And comments around there.

It's pretty clear. As far as insulting people, it only shows what value, if any, your comments have..you don't know me, you don't know what I do in the community, and you don't know my experience but you feel welcome to attack over a blog, please be respect and civil if you can.

I was happy to provide my ID when asked this morning in LA. Even if I did not drive and have a license, I'd just get a state ID. How else would I open a bank account, cash a check, get a job, fly, purchase alcohol or anything else people need ID to do? They even ask for ID at the hospital when you seek treatment at the ER. A state ID is inexpensive (anywhere from free to $30... highest in Oregon but good for 8 years). In my state they are free to anyone 60+. I'd love to know how one would get by in society without any kind of photo ID.

LA Girl, insightful comments, but you fail to realize that dems feel that the gov't owes them an existance. they get free food, beer, drugs, houses, phones, beer, more beer, why should they need an ID to vote?

Oh, no. I realize. I live in Shreveport and see it everywhere...

When the freeloaders sell their food stamps to drug dealers for crack they don't need to show ID.....why should they need one to vote?

katherine....
sure, honey.....now hurry and write a poem about all the men that did you wrong

Why wouldn't the Judge of Elections remove a sign he did not kow how it got there....who knows...but...a citizen cannot overrule him,it must come from above, it most be documented...why...the right to vote must be protected...

People vote, do a provisional ballot, or something if denied, keep on record your efforts to civilly express your opinion as an American...

The point here is that it is NOT the law and an ID is NOT required in PA- so the sign should have been taken down. It does not matter how you feel about showing an ID- it is not the law. There really are people who don't drive, fly, buy alcohol, need to open a bank account (there are those who opened it when they had an ID- 40 yrs ago...), you don't need an ID to DEPOSIT a check or one to use an ATM to get the money out.

Large Katherine...
married to your ma....not surprised.....have another donut

Take them down and trash them. Disgusting.

Fine points, Polly. The good news is that such an upstanding citizen will have no problem with getting their ID and showing it because they will want to make sure no one is casting their ballot for them. And if they've been around that long, they will qualify for the free ID in most states. (By the way, you still need an ID to pay with a check or even debit card in many places.)

Katherine....sticks and stones.....now, now, don't fret....your son will make a fine nurse.....maybe he can be a flight attendant if that doesn't work out

You need an ID to go to the hospital, buy cigerattes, buy beer. You need an ID to get a job so that you can pay your bills and taxes... why on earth not require ID to prove you are LEGALLY allowed to vote? The excuse that voter fraud is miminal is silly. How do you know it's miminal? There is no real way to prove or disprove it. Requiring ID does not mean you need a Drivers license. I don't drive but I have a state ID card. Cost me $7.50. All people would have to do is get an ID card like that if they don't have a drivers license and bam.. they can vote. Since elections are only ever 2 years and 4 years for Presidents.. plenty of time to get one before elections. ID should be required since we have laws about who can and who can't vote to ensure that the person voting is who they say they are and legally able to vote.

Picture ID, in Illinois, unless you are a senior citizen, cost something like $30.00 for a four year period adnd then must be renewed for another $30.00.

First I agree the sign is a phony and anyone looking at it should recognize that. And to the people who walk I apologize, but here in Newtown with this cold weather I don't think we had many walkers or bicyvle riders. And. you do need an ID to vote in Pa, if you had not voted at that location previously.

I still am looking forward to next time because people should be required to have an ID to execute such a important responsibility as voting!

Enough of the personal attacks already!

although i am a registered republican in my state i completely abhour any effort to deny someone the right to vote it undermines the rights and liberties we have fought to establish since the constitution was first ratified

@charles mason....just think, you're only an "n" from being Charles Manson. And you're just about 60 IQ points from being not retarded

@ linda thomas.....meow!!! your saucer of milk is ready!

EVERYONE SHOULD SHOW SOME FORM OF ID!! IF YOUR 18 OR 110, YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOME FORM OF ID....4 YEARS AGO I WENT TO VOTE AND WAS TOLD THAT I ALREADY VOTED!!! NOW HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA A JUDGE HAS RULED THAT STARTING AFTER THIS ELECTION YOU MUST SHOW A FORM OF ID.....ABOUT TIME!!

I have 3 children voting for the first time this year. All three are REQUIRED to show valid id to vote because it is their first time voting in our polling place. When we moved here 10 years ago, I had to show valid ID to vote for the first time at this polling place. It has never been required since. They asked for ID today, but you could vote if you did not have it. They gave you a slip of paper about voter ID if you did not have an ID with you. IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE ID TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A POLLING PLACE, THEN WHY CAN YOU NOT HAVE ID EVERY TIME?? Seriously, what is the matter with you people? I needed ID to pick up a prescription the other day. If you don't have it, get it. You have a year to do so.

Oh...if its all CAPS it must be true.

Everyone needs to get off their soapbox about whether or not ID should be required to vote. The story here is that a sign was posted in a state that passed a voter ID law but is not yet in effect. This has created an environment of confusion and a greater chance of voter disenfranchisement and/or suppression.

Respect the right to vote for ALL, not just the ones you agree with-- 1. There is reason to protest or object to signs that are NOT the law

THERE is a RIGHT TO VOTE---Respect the right to vote for ALL, the Constitution does discuss the right to votes, here are quote from the 19th Amendment:

USCS Const. Amend. 19, § 1

Sec. 1. [Woman suffrage.]

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

It's amazing that people still think it is appropriate to vote for the people who will be leading us without showing any kind of ID. Picture ID is the best, but a voter's registration card is the best. In fact, both should have to be shown in order to vote for president of the country. Only registered citizens should be allowed to have this honor, not illegals, not non-citizens, not those barred for certain reasons, and definitely not be able to vote more than once. My goodness, i have to show my license in order to stay at a hotel (or another type of ID), show my license at stores when I go to use my credit card, show an ID and have a credit card to rent a car, etc. And some people, and many in high political positions, do not think it is necessary to have ID in order to vote. What is wrong with this picure?

EVEN republicans who created the additional demands of Voters ID admit voter fraud does not exist in any meaningful part...

McCain Strategist Admits Voter Fraud ‘Doesn’t Really Exist’
By Igor Volsky on Nov 5, 2012 at 10:46 am
Steve Schmidt, a former senior strategist to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) 2008 presidential campaign, admitted that widespread voter fraud doesn’t exist in the United States and claimed that the GOP-backed voter ID laws are based on “mythology.” Read the whole story:

http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/11/05/1139141/mccain-strategist-admits-voter-fraud-doesnt-really-exist/?mobile=nc

Is there a problem....REALLY?.....Since 2000, there has been about one case of voter impersonation per every 15 million votes cast, according to a report from ProPublica, and even proponents of voter ID have struggled to identify cases of fraud. Meanwhile, state-based efforts forcing voters to produce picture identifications could disproportionately disenfranchise minorities who typically vote for Democratic candidates.

First, in PA showing voter ID is not the law...so it should not be happening in 2012 period...

Second Voter ID laws do not correct any problem, and they do not prevent any real evil...voter fraud really does not exist and providing an ID does not cure a problem--- how many people have successfully used IDs to drink underage...its a distraction... the true purpose is voter disenfranchisement... thats wrong... thats what we should be looking into...the votes actually cast that are not counted

Haywood Joublomie, please stop with the personal attacks and name calling. It's frankly rude and not constructive to anyone.

Take the blasted sign DOWN ... don't add a postage stamp to an incorrect billboard. This is a BLATANT attempt to keep people who might not have a driver's license (i.e.; poor ... who are likely to vote Democratic) from voting! People in the whole area should be ashamed, if not humiliated.

I thought it was an image of the virgin Mary. What a disappointment.

Kara, thank you so much for advocating online tonight, what we need to advocate going forward after the election, our economy will rebound, our country will be safe...those things are well established, but this dialogue is concerning, and we need to bring everyone together for the mission of all of US... So vote today, root tonight, but come together soon behind our President.

Well, looks like another 4 years of...nothingness. I supported Obama in his first term, until I realized that he was a "do nothing" President. Now we will have a lame duck President and nothing changes. As I watch everyone on TV cheer and celebrate, I have to wonder for what they are cheering and celebrating. There will be no "coming together" because this is a divided country and Obama is not qualified to bring about the coming together needed. Instead, what we will get, is more of the same: Obama will try to do something; the Republicans we rebuke it; Obama will crawl off to the White House and do nothing. When you have two candidates who are only concerned with the middle-class and no one else-you will get no where. And folks...that is exactly what we are getting for another four years. So much for, "Forward!"
