They may have given you a provisional ballot. It would be held until they could verify your signature and then be counted.

PA is even worse. I walked and said my last name. They asked if I was my brother (we live in the same district). I said no, and gave my name and they had me sign. That's it. I could walked in an hour later and voted for him too.

The only thing required for voter fraud in my state is an ace bandage.
To wrap around your hand as an excuse as to why the signatures don't match.

I wasn’t even asked my address. I’d left my purse at home, but had an image of my passport on my phone- I had that out and ready, and no one cared.

We are visiting family in Minnesota -- NO ID Required at the polling place!!! My son-in-law was frowned on for trying to show them his driver's license. Daughter reports that a foreign lady was asking the poll workers if she could vote since she lives here now, and they did not seem to know what to tell her... In Kansas we showed our Gov't issued picture ID, and they matched us to the photos and the address of record - which makes much more sense to me.

Here in MO we have to show ID, just the way it should be.

That reminds me of registering to vote in about 1984 in Crook County, IL. The couple in front of us was Japanese, didn't speak a word of English, but they got registered anyway. They used Green Cards for ID! I wanted to tell the women doing the registering that a Green Card is proof that the possessor is NOT a US citizen, but the girlfriend (different one now) stopped me. She was a politically-connected Democrat.

I voted this morning in MA, no ID required. I was asked address and name and given a ballot.

If I get to the poll before anyone else that I know the name and address I could vote for them. They don't have us show anything in MA.

Had to show my Michigan drivers license.

When I voted today they scanned my driver's license, checked me against the voter roster and had me sign in. Then gave me a ballot to vote.

When I used to live in the City of St Louis the election staff remembered me by sight. I was one of the 5% or so that were registered as a Republican. Only a couple of pages to look at to find me as opposed to a whole book.

Was watching news channel today and they did story about a young lady from an area in North Carolina that now works and lives in Washington DC. It was about her bus ride back to NC just so she could vote and get to the airport to fly back so she could get to work on time. Can someone tell me how you can live in Washington DC and vote in NC. This story aired on ABC in the Raleigh NC viewing area.

Residency can take a while to change, so perhaps that was the issue. Also, some government workers have a designated "Home of Record" (such as the military) and it remains constant even as their job moves them around.

I had to show my license, which they then scanned, before I could get my ballot.

I was in and out of the place in 5 minutes.

I agree . They ask for my name and then point out a spot to sign name and pointed to the booth to vote.

Residency could be the issue. She is not military or government because they stated she worked for a non-profit organization.

How Do I Vote?

Missouri’s new voter ID law (HB 1631), effective on June 1, 2017, outlines identification options for registered Missouri voters to use on Election Day at their polling location.

Most Missourians have a Missouri Driver's License or Nondriver License, which is an acceptable photo ID for voting. There are also plenty of other options, too.

• Option 1: Provide a Missouri issued Driver or Non-Driver license, U.S. Passport, or Military ID

• Option 2: Provide a secondary form of identification, such as a paycheck or bank statement.

• Option 3: If the voter has no form of identification, but is a registered voter, they may cast a provisional ballot

Missouri’s voter ID law also requires the state of Missouri to assist voters who might not have a photo ID in obtaining one.

In my district, you provide I.D. which is cross referenced with a list of all eligible voters in the district, then you sign in the space next to your name. Then you get a ballot. I saw a couple of folks filing out a voting application but didn't pay too much attention.

Exactly the same here.
