Interesting. Still, that's purely an unsourced say-so and I don't have a high amount of trust for journalists/bloggers.
Here's what the Arizona Secretary of State website says (emphasis added):
So if someone walks in with a fake id with a name of "Farty Pants", the Arizona poll worker will look in their voter registration rolls to determine if there is an entry for "Pants, Farty". Once they determine that no such voter is registered to use their polling location, they would be required to say something like, "I'm sorry Mr. Pants but you aren't on my registration list. The most I can do is offer you a provisional ballot."
A little more summary information is on findlaw:
... and also (again, emphasis added)...
Regardless, the massive amount of confiscated id cards is a big deal. It does not bode well, because it's likely that so many have slipped through unnoticed. It very well might be intended to be used for voter fraud somehow.. I think it's likely. But for starters what I'd like to know is what were the states and names of those cards and especially whether those names/identities are fake or whether they are stolen.
I hate it when people (especially article writers) muddy the water by pushing their speculations as though they're established facts.

my SSN has been compromised 6 times via the VA, the DMV of two states, and the elections board in a Southern state. so you tell me. for all i know i have voted several times in many elections because i know that my info was used to earn over a million dollars in one year for which the feds were on my shit.
and i can bet you that if a sheeboon or traitor white is working the polls, they aren't concerned with integrity.
