Nevada precinct workers will not ask to see a voter’s ID. In fact, by law, they’ can’t.

This is from the days when Democrats and then-Nevada Senator Harry Reid accused Republicans of racism, all because they wanted to require everyone to show their IDs before voting. But here’s a funny, little fact about Reid: if you want to visit his office in the Federal Courthouse Building in Las Vegas, you must show a government issued picture ID.

Reid’s office was asked if requiring an ID to visit the former senator’s office was racist – they said, “No, it’s for security purposes.”
