Here (Tennessee) the state passed a photo ID law that went
into effect last
year. If you voted absentee, no ID
required. If you voted early, your voter
registration card
is required (to determine the correct ballot/machine for you
to use), though you can get a provisional ballot if you say
you've lost the
card and they look you up.
If you don't have a driver's license or other
approved ID,
you can get a free one (in advance of the election) at a
state
Driver Service Center.
One of the news items that went national from
Tennessee was
96-year old
Chattanooga woman, Dorothy Cooper, who had
voted in
every
election but one for seven decades, but was initially denied
the free ID because of a missing marriage certificate. She
was later to
locate it, and she got the free ID making a
second trip to the center. She made sure to
vote last
year.
