QUESTION: did any of the states we won last nite have voter ID?? Any suppression?

[jodymarie aimee]

I ask because Rs have locked up our state for 8 years now. We lost 300,000 Dem votes last year due to Republican voter suppression. These may have been easy FAIR wins...when they get to our state next year it won't be fair.

4. This is actually the 2nd election in VA to require id. The local party spent

a lot of time making sure seniors had ids. They drove vans of seniors to the DMV.

10. Yup we have ID law here, and the key is to make sure everybody gets ID.

Until we re-take the Statehouse, and fix it.

3. VA is heavily gerrymandered

And even that was not enough to save the rethugs.

17. yes, and voter ID is required. When did we become an easy

State? The site won’t let me put quotes around the word easy. Last I heard, we had a Rethug state legislature, and the Kochs spent millions on attack ads this year.

Optical scanner but paper ballots available for recount

11. Loudoun County got rid of the vapor voting machines several years ago.

It's all scanners here and I think that helped a lot.

8. I voted in Ohio yesterday.

They ask for I.D.

I always have mine ready.

I usually show my picture I.D. (I use my drivers license) and sign in.

Yesterday they had a new machine that scans your picture I.D and then you sign the electronic screen.

Then they give you the card for the voting machine.

The voting machine is electronic and also has a print out.

You get to read your ballot page by page before it is printed.

After you are finished you return your voting machine card and get a sticker that says I Heart Voting.

Heart is replaced with the shape of the state of Ohio.
