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/

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