LadyAKA:
Sorry for the long post, but I was confused about something when my husband and I went to vote today. Maybe you or someone else can explain it. After giving our addresses to the poll workers and signing our names, everyone was pointed to a particular booth for their respective districts. HOWEVER, each person was assigned a number and there was a notation made on a card as to what each person's number was. We had to stand in line IN ORDER and vote according to our numbers. Well, a couple of women saw people they knew, wandered off the line to talk, and suddenly it seemed to be a minor issue with the poll workers about them being in the right order in line.
I understand making sure a person is a citizen, but why the cards and making sure that people are lined up in a specific order? That sounded like some method of identifying a person and being able to tell how he or she voted.
