Voter ID Confusion-- reports of poll workers insisting on photo i.d.

http://www.cbs58.com/news/local-news/Voter-ID-Confusion-157308855.html

MILWAUKEE-Civil rights attorneys working with the U.S. Department of Justice say that by 1 p.m. Tuesday, they had received nearly 600 complaints on a variety of topics.

A leading complaint involved confusion over photo i.d.

Picture identification is on hold in Wisconsin because of pending lawsuits.

But several people have contacted CBS 58 to say they had to insist to vote or were turned away because they did not have a photo i.d.

Sue Edmond, Milwaukee's Election Commision Director, reiterated that a photo i.d. is not required.
