BBV-Colorado - rules are "affirmative deception"
If you don't bring your driver's license or other form of ID to the polls, you can only cast a provisional ballot. However, the provisional ballot application requires a driver's license or Department of Revenue number and says that if you don't provide it, your application will be thrown out.
(snip)
A Boulder County election official testified that she will count only presidential votes on provisional ballots cast by folks who go to the wrong precincts Nov. 2. That's what the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires. Meanwhile, state law forbids anyone from voting in the wrong precinct. At the same time, a state regulation allows all state and local votes to be counted on provisional ballots cast by those sent to the wrong precinct by an election official.
(snip)
Unless you possess Job's patience and Joe Heller's humor, contact your county election commission immediately. See if you're registered to vote. Ask where you're supposed to vote Nov. 2. Find out what identification you must bring. Ask if you applied for an absentee ballot.

Repeat this process every week until Election Day.
