WI recall: No requirement for photo ID

[Qutzupalotl]

A Voting Rights fact from our friends at the ACLU of Wisconsin:

In this election, Provisional Ballots should NOT be given out for people w/o ID - there is NO requirement for photo ID in this election. If you see someone receiving a provisional ballot for any reason, Wisconsin Election Protection wants to know! Encourage them to contact the nonpartisan Wisconsin Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE or @EPWisco on twitter.

1. Thanks for posting this... Will there be exit poll workers?

A provisional ballot is used to record a vote when there are questions in regards to a given voter's eligibility. A provisional ballot would be cast when:
The voter refuses to show a photo ID (in regions that require one)
The voter's name does not appear on the electoral roll for the given precinct.
The voter's registration contains inaccurate or out-dated information such as the wrong address or a misspelled name.
The voter's ballot has already been recorded
Whether a provisional ballot is counted is contingent upon the verification of that voter's eligibility. Many voters do not realize that the provisional ballot is not counted until 7–10 days after election so their vote does not affect the calling of the states to different candidates.
A guarantee that a voter could cast a provisional ballot if he or she believes that they are entitled to vote was one of the guarantees of the Help America Vote Act of 2002.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_ballot
