[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1213526, member: 40736"] RTFA: [I] The problem came to light Monday, when a local district judge had trouble casting a ballot. "What I have used for voter registration and for identification for the last 52 years was not sufficient yesterday when I went to vote," 117th District Court Judge Sandra Watts said. Watts has voted in every election for the last 49 years. The name on her driver's license has remained the same for 52 years, and the address on her voter registration card or driver's license hasn't changed in more than two decades. So imagine her surprise when she was told by voting officials that she would have to sign a "voters affidavit" affirming she was who she said she was. "Someone looked at that and said, 'Well, they're not the same,'" Watts said. The difference? On the driver's license, Judge Watts' maiden name is her middle name. On her voter registration, it's her actual middle name. That was enough under the new, more strict voter fraud law, to send up a red flag. [/I] [/QUOTE]
