We don't have early voting in PA (except absentee). When we first moved 
here, we had to show IDs. Now we rarely do because at least one of the 
poll workers knows me. They have a precinct book of eligible voters, and 
check off your name and have you sign when you come in to vote. If your 
name isn't in the book, it attracts a LOT of attention. I only saw it 
happen once...every poll worker gathered around, tsk-tsking about it. I 
don't know how they finally resolved it. In fact, it worked the same way 
when I lived in Philadelphia...if you weren't in the precinct book, you 
had a lot of convincing to do before you would be allowed to vote.
