I suspect no one will ask you for any documentation. If you have it, they never ask for it. Lol
Yeah, that sounds like run-of-the-mill voter intimidation/discouragement to me, designed to make people say "screw it".

... I feel it is possible my current ballot choices could be recorded. ...
When I walk in they look at my I.D. and match it to the name and address on their paper list. I fill out a piece of paper required to declare WHICH ballot I’m given, R or D. (I guess the general elections are different, but hey local elections matter too.)
I walk over to vote at the touch thing and toss the credit card thing into the box.
Meanwhile the senior citizen who crossed my name off the list already knows who I’ll vote for before I do the deed, by simple process of elimination.
Point being, how much are we going to worry over every single possibility here?

Why is E-voting excluded when it is so close to the current standards for paper ballots just because one guy online has a straw man against it?
