I wonder what position the USDOJ would take in a lawsuit alleging that the ID Requirements contained in Section 2257 and the Regulations that it issues to implement them unfairly discriminate against the FIRST AMENDMENT rights of Latins and Blacks to perform in sexually explicit video?

I could have some real fun taking the allegations of their new lawsuit and shoving them down the legal throat of the DOJ as part of defending a content producer or webmaster.

For the out-of-towners asking, the usual way of voting is just like the prior poster said. You'd walk in, tell your name, they would check you off, and maybe you'd have to sign for your ballot. If an election judge/pollwatcher challenged you (the parties each get to appoint them so sit at the table and watch to keep things fair) you might be asked to prove your identity.

In the Sixties, in Wisconsin, before every election, a printed broadside listing the registered voters in each precinct would be posted on telephone poles around the precinct, the idea being that members of the public could turn in the names of the dead or moved-away to purge the lists. The community, in that way, monitored its voter list together, and in that era, someone at the polling place was sure to recognize you. Today it's much changed, with privacy concerns, and only a limited number of people, candidates for example, can get their hands on a voter print-out.
