Do most states require bringing the voter registration card? Here in Hawaii we just have to show valid Government picture ID.

I have never had to show any type of ID in NY. I just tell them my name, sign the form, and step into the booth.

WOW. I'm picturing the same person showing up at different polling places voting under different names.

I vote absentee and mailing the ballot in is wayyyy more convenient, IMO. But here all voters show a picture ID to the person behind the desk, who locates your name in the register book with all the names from the precinct printed. She writes your ballot number next your name, and then you sign.

I forgot to mention that they match the signatures after you sign your name in the registration book.

I think that it might be possible for one person to vote more than once, but I haven't heard of that happening.
