Alabama went one step further after the Doug Jones debacle.
Now they have an electronic system where IDs must be scanned to get a ballot. In the past, in certain precincts, at the end of the day they would mark off names on the list and fill in ballots for people who didnt show up.
Now the number of ballots must equal the number of scanned IDs. Problem completely solved.
Mine (in PA) just asks for your signature, that the poll worker compares to a scanned one they have in the book.
When I first voted in 1993, they asked my last name. I gave it, and they asked me if I was my grandfather. I told them, "No. He died in 1981." They have updated their purging since then - now if you don't vote in the past 4 years, you get purged. Still sketchy.
Asking for ID is a good thing.

My county makes you show ID and state your full name and address. I like it. I left out my middle name one year and they asked for it.
