A very weird story about the chair of the Alabama Republican party using a very weird homemade photo ID to vote, in a way that sure seems like it doesn’t meet Ala. Code 17-9-30.  (And allowing a one-person exception might well be a violation of federal law – 52 USC 10101(a)(2)(A) – too.)

I’m all for flexibility to allow a wider variety of ways for eligible voters to show that they are who they say they are.  But that flexibility should be available to everyone, even if you’re not the state party chair.
