When I "volunteered" as a vote clerk it was in 2002 (I think is was that year) or could have been 2000. But we did our training at the Reagan Library and we were told during training to check everyone's ID, which I did for everyone that voted. Back then checking for ID's was an acceptable practice. I don't remember if they told us to check the ID's to make the process go faster because we could check their name off the rolls quicker when the name was written down in front of us, or if it was to prevent fraud. Back then there wasn't much talk about fraud and I didn't ponder why we were to check their ID's, we were just told to.

And an Inspector also came by while I was there.

I only did that once and for the same reason you did AG, I wanted to see how the process worked.

What a difference it is from today.
