Here we go again.
Last year, we reported on a voter in Stamford who used his grocery store "bonus savings club" card to vote.
This time, we found a Greenwich man, Trey Reynolds, who used his membership card for the Avon Theater to successfully cast his ballot during early voting at Greenwich Town Hall.
The front of Reynolds' "voter ID" includes a lovely picture of the theater, while the back shows his name, membership number and a QR code. That's it. That's all he had to show in order to vote.
Just in case the poll worker refused to accept the theater membership card as voter identification, Reynolds brought along a piece of junk mail as back up.
"I've been doing this for over 10 years," explains Reynolds, so he knows any old piece of junk mail with his name and address will suffice as voter ID in Connecticut. "But at least the piece of mail has my address on it," he says.
Reynolds isn't breaking the law at all, in fact he's following it.
He thinks it's important to expose the lack of integrity in Connecticut's voting systems because most people have no idea how bad it really is.
"Everybody should do this, just use a piece of junk mail or a credit card to vote. It doesn't even have to be signed," says Reynolds. "More people need to see with their own eyes that you can pick up a scrap of paper off the street, and as long as it has a name and address on it, use that to vote in Connecticut."
Indeed, when he posted in a social media group about voting with his theater membership card, people were shocked and angered.
But the reality is anyone could walk into a Connecticut polling station with more or less anything with a name on it, and as long as the person provides an address that matches the name of a registered voter, they will get a ballot. Unless the records show the person has already voted, that is.
"There are all kinds of people who insist that it's racist if they are forced to use a government issued photo ID. So in Connecticut, there are no requirements for photo ID," quipped Reynolds. We have also seen many Democrats maintain that "photo ID" requirements are tantamount to "voter suppression."
Reynolds says that's nonsense, and just the "soft bigotry of low expectations," which he says, "seems to be a prevailing viewpoint of so many progressives these days." Especially the ones obsessed with DEI.
"You need a photo ID to buy alcohol, buy cigarettes, get on a plane, register your kids for soccer, get a beach pass and hundreds of other things," says Reynolds. "But not to vote. It's just outrageous."
The voter ID requirements posted on the Secretary of State's website clearly indicate you do not need a photo ID to vote in Connecticut. You can use pretty much anything with your name on it, and just give the poll worker your address. If the name and address match the records in the voter logs, you get a ballot.
Reynolds had always thought that voters needed something with an address on it, but was surprised to learn that one can use a social security card or even an unsigned credit card to vote.
"The Greenwich Republican and Democrat Town Committees and other organizations instruct people to bring their state issued driver's licenses," says Reynolds. "But apparently that is just fake news!"
And Democrats call elections in Connecticut "safe and secure."
Yeah, right.
