Yep, they already have most of that information which you supplied when
you registered to vote, so to get anything more they either have to
copy your ID or write the information down on an extra copy of the
voter roll, all without anyone, like the other ID checkers sitting
next to them, noticing.
You are creating a focal point for personal
information, a potential situation for a person/group of people to
steal information,
So once a year a gang of identity thieves is going to put a plant in
the local polling place and somehow steal personal information from
people with last names A-G while the other people behind the H-O and
P-Z signs next to the perp don't notice that something funny is going
on like accumulating information instead of just handing out ballots?
Puerile fantasy.
based on a mandate that all walk in voters share
personal information.
With one person who is supposed to do nothing more than match the ID
to the voter list and hand you a ballot.
If they are doing anything else, call the cops.
So to your example, it would appear, in an
effort to fight one fire, you placed a whole lot of flammables right
next to another fire, i guess you could feel good about one fire
fighting effort, until the other house explodes.


With todays cell phone cameras, one only needs a press of a button,
and a good memory for numbers. Identity theft protection includes
shredding waste that contains important information so people who go
through a households *TRASH*, have a harder time stealing your
identity. The typical household waste contains food/dog/cat/tolietries
along with the personal information we are told to shred, this sits
and stews a week before it goes to the curb. So if people are willing
to go through a persons week old curbside trash just to get *one*
persons personal information, stealing numbers from a polling place to
get a lot of peoples personal information is not to far out of the
realm.
