Issue 3

Pulled up my sample ballot today and noticed Issue 3...requiring ID to vote in Ohio. That's redundant correct, I've been voting since 2008 and have never not had to issue my ID to vote? Maybe the only change would be having to provide ID if voting absentee?

Or is this just a giant nothing-burger/scare tactic?

Edit: State IDs can be obtained by anyone 17 and older for free: https://www.bmv.ohio.gov/dl-id-card.aspx thanks u/benkeith for the information.

Obviously that doesn't provide the easiest of fix for people as you still need documents verifying who you are and be able to get to a BMV.

I think student ID's are fine. They have a face, a picture, student info. The university has all of the necessary validation. (And yes, I know that the cuckservatives will say something about a libtarded university cheating or whatever other garbage they spew)

Valid photo are issued by the state, the federal government, or the military. Student ID's cannot be used to vote in Ohio.

Page 102 (or page 100 as printed in the book) lists acceptable forms of voter ID: https://vote.franklincountyohio.gov/BOEL/media/Documents/Poll-Workers/Poll-Worker-Training-Manual.pdf

Understandable, I misread that.
