In Colorado, voters do not have to show a photo ID

Potential battles at polling place around the country, including here in Colorado, have been heating up for months. Voter protection volunteers-- those mostly on the right looking to guard against fraud and those mostly on the left looking to guard against voter intimidation-- have already reported they will be watching for polling place irregularities in counties across Colorado tomorrow. At very least, those volunteers and all registered voters in Colorado should know that voters do not need to show photo identification in order to cast their ballots in this state. Polling place staff can accept photo IDs but they must also, for example, accept as legitimate identification current utility bills, bank statements and paychecks.
