No ID, no vote Chabot tunred away at polls (sw ohio) :)

[RawMaterials]

WESTWOOD - Congressman Steve Chabot found out just how serious elections officials are about the new voter ID law when he showed up to vote at his polling place in Westwood.

Chabot went into the polling place at Westwood First Presbyterian Church about 9:30 a.m. and pulled out his Ohio driver’s license to show the poll workers. They looked at his license, and told the congressman that, even though they know perfectly well who he is, his driver’s license was issued to his business office, not his home, which is his voting address.

Somewhat sheepishly, Chabot went back out into the parking lot, jumped in his 1993 Buick - the one he talked about on his campaign commercials - and started heading back to his home a few blocks away to find a proper ID.

“I guess I’ll see if I can find a utility bill,” Chabot said. “That’s the law. You have to have proper ID.”

Chabot returned about 10 minutes later with a bank statement and a Social Security Administration statement in hand.

He went insde and voted quickly.

"My wife told me to bring two documents just to be sure," Chabot said. "I guess this just shows the poll workers are really doing ttheir job.

3. Sounds like a set up

a faux news event to make it appear that even GOP'ers were being subjected to strict ID rules. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

4. Keep this one in mind

if they start really pushing the "Strickland's residency" stuff ...

Is Repuke Chabot voting from his office's address or his "home" address?

And besides, isn't the "driver's license" the official ID that you're supposed to use?

5. Wonder if he's already voted from his "office" address ...

another "voter fraud" issue ...
