Do you need proof of residency to be able to vote, even if you are registered to vote ?
I went to vote today & was asked for ID, told them the ID law was blocked, they said it was for proof of residency. I am registered to vote & everything is current, I even looked it up. I've been living where I'm at for some time now so I"m not new to the area or anything & they know who we are and all that, it's a small township and not very many people around here. Every other time I went to vote I never had to show anything, though I did take my ID last time because of the voter ID law, they said I didn't need it, but they looked at it anyways.
I tried to look to see if I could find anything about needing proof of residency to vote, only thing I found was that you need proof of residency to register to vote. So unless I"m not looking in the right place or it's some law that they never enforced before.
I don't know if anyone else is being asked for proof of residency before they let you vote. I can't help to think that they're trying to give us a hard time because last time we went to vote I was carrying, the building was not posted.
Needless to say we went home without voting.
