I WON'T Have A Picture ID When I Vote Tomorrow

There's no law in Connecticut that requires a photo ID. Instead I'll be packing a current phone bill, a Social Security card and a dilapidated copy of my birth certificate  when I  attempt to vote tomorrow.

Today's issue of Pro Publica,.org a web based news organization with the credentials of  The New York Times, contains an article on the legalities and voting rights of United States citizens
"Everything you ever wanted to know about voter ID laws spells out the varying laws from state to state.. So if you vote at the VFW and find a long line, it just maybe because of a bunch of poll workers that can't figure what to do with me.
