User Report
I had accidentally left my wallet behind, and got to the polls VERY late - in fact I was the last voter in the city. I had to sign an affidavit affirming my identity, although several of the poll workers have known me all my life(my priest, the city clerk). My vote was excepted no problem-thanks to Michigans good system. Have an ID or sign to vouch for yourself.
