Related: About this forumKTLA in Los Angeles
Their reporter Wendy Burch was just reporting live on-air that you need to bring a photo ID with you to the polls. California has no voter ID law. I don't understand how these reporters are allowed to spew anything without fact checking first.

(23,576 posts)6. Great! I remember years ago WGN TV in Chicago (Owned by the same corp as KTLA)
had the financial reporter on ELECTION DAY said that republicans are better for the economy. I regret not calling the station.

isn't the vote considered provisional?

(4,613 posts)4. Nope
only if you are a new registrant and didn't provide a Driver's license or Social Security number on your form. Again, California has NO voter ID law.

As for your question "I don't understand how these reporters are allowed to spew anything without fact checking first." Ever heard of Fox News?
