So much for small victories

JS Online: Elections Board reverses ID decision
People who register to vote at the polls on Election Day won't be prohibited from casting ballots if they fail to produce their driver licenses as long as they provide the last four digits of their Social Security number, the State Elections Board decided today.

The move reverses the board's January decision that said people registering to vote on the day of an election must show their licenses or provide the license numbers. Under the rule, if people were issued a license but forgot to bring it, they would not have been allowed to vote until they showed it or provided the numbers.
