Poll worker mistakenly asks for IDs
An inexperienced poll worker in Wauwatosa asked residents standing in line for the first five minutes after the polls opened today to get their photo IDs ready, the city's deputy clerk said.
Resident Michael Schall told the Journal Sentinel he was in line at Washington Elementary School when the poll worker told everyone to have a driver's license or other picture ID ready "or I don't think we'll be able to let you vote."
Schall said his wife automatically reached for her ID, but he told her it wasn't required. The couple has voted at the same polling location for many years, he said.
When they got up to the table to vote, however, no one asked to see a photo ID, Schall said.
Deputy Clerk Bernadette Williams said no one was.
"She (the poll worker) made a mistake, and as soon as the ward chair heard her saying that, she corrected her. They were never required to show their ID," Williams said.
A representative for the state Democratic Party called the city to raise concerns but was satisfied when told the poll worker would be told to stop, she said.
