Bennington Twp Violating Election Laws

January 15th, 2008 | by christine |

Shiawassee Dems received a report that Bennington Twp is questioning people who do not have a photo ID. The person who reported states that he was harassed until he produced one. The worker even said, “If you don’t have a photo ID, how did you get here?”

I believe the law states that if a person does not have an ID, the election worker is supposed to ask if the voter lives in the precinct, and then ask if the voter will sign an affidavit.

Furthermore, here is a shot of the ad that ran in the Independent on Sunday:

It reads, in bold caps: “YOU MUST SHOW PICTURED ID TO VOTE”

The ad is selective: it does not inform the readers that they have the right to sign an affidavit if they do not have a photo ID.

I’m getting ready to throwdown out here.

    Ever find out who authorized the posting of the signs and the release of wrong info to the Independent?
