Voting early by absentee ballot? To get an absentee ballot you need to be a registered voter.

Voting early either on paper or on a machine? You need to be a registered voter and have I.D.

Voting on Election Day either on paper or on a machine. You need to be a registered voter and have I.D..

Something about these prosecutions doesn’t pass my smell test.
