Voter ID Ad Concerns AARP

AARP Idaho wants all of its members 50 years and older to vote in the Nov. 2 election, and is concerned about public service announcements on the new law asking voters to bring photo identification to the polls. Officials with the group say the ads are misleading, because registered voters without ID can still vote if they sign an affidavit swearing they are who they say they are. The ads, which tell Idahoans to bring their ID and vote, doesn’t mention the affidavit. Officials with the secretary of state’s office say that information is available and that poll workers know about the affidavits/Brad Iverson-Long, Idaho Reporter. More here.

Question: Are you bothered that you'll be asked to provide a voter ID at the polls before voting at the polls this year?
