was enacted by the state legislature earlier this year, which means all voters who show up to vote in the primary will be asked to produce identification.

In an editorial last week, the Express-Times encouraged voters to engage in an act of conscientious objection by politely declining to show identification when asked at the polls today.

Calling the new law "a sham," the newspaper's editorial board panned it and said local voters should "just say no" if they care about the democratic process.

What do you think of that suggestion? Will you say "no" when asked to show ID? Or will you gladly produce it to prove you are who you say you are? Tell us in the comments, and tell us why you will or won't vote in the primary by participating in our poll.
