When I voted in person in the primaries, I was not required to show any ID at all, just my name and address, and they let me vote. When I voted early at the presidential election, I had to do it at the Lady Lake public library, and they checked my drivers' license to make sure I was who I said I was.
As long as you can prove that you are really you, that's all that SHOULD be required for the actual vote. If they need citizenship proof, then that should be part of the registration process.
Once you're registered, you shouldn't ever need to prove that you are a citizen of the USA. The fact that you ARE registered is proof enough.

There you go....no interest in "mixing things up". I vote each year. I registered to vote in Pennsylvania way back. I came here in 1998, and was required to show photo ID to register to vote.. I said I "think" I had to show photo I'd when I changed my affliction, but actually not sure.
Thus not completely understand how I mixed things up.
The point was that those who keep insisting people are voting without ID are wrong.
Sorry I mixed you up...continue and the dumb guy will shut up. I really thought we were discussing election law, run by individual states, and the Georgia law. I was simply inserting the thought that I am tired of hearing about people voting with no I'd. No state I am aware of allows that, but it is bandied about as a truism. No intention to cause disruption.
