C. Copies of documents provided pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be made by the election board and kept available for public inspection pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

Let's assume it's whatever form of birth record is issued by whatever state, including OK.

What idiot decided it's a good idea to allow public inspection of a person's birth records, passport, or whatever the document is? The real-world consequences of that are staggering IMO.

I've now uploaded a copy of the "Committee Substitute" version of the bill on my Scribd account.

SB91 Committee Substitute

§26-7-114. Procedure for determining eligibility.
A. Each person appearing to vote shall announce that person’s name to the judge of the precinct and shall provide proof of identity, whereupon the judge shall determine whether the person's name is in the precinct registry. As used in this section, [highlight]“proof of identity” shall mean a document that satisfies all of the following:[/highlight]
1. The document shows the name of the person to whom the document was issued, and the name substantially conforms to the name in the precinct registry;
2. The document shows a photograph of the person to whom the document was issued;
3. The document includes an expiration date, which is after the date of the election in which the person is appearing to vote.

4. The document was issued by the United States, the State of Oklahoma or the government of a federally recognized Indian tribe or nation.

B. 1. If a person declines to or is unable to produce proof of identity, the person may sign a statement under oath, in a form approved by the Secretary of the State Election Board, swearing or affirming that the person is the person identified on the precinct registry, and shall be allowed to cast a provisional ballot as provided in Section 7-116.1 of this title.

Well reading that means amongst other things

Unless an out of state candidate has a passport or other Federal issued ID they are SOL, no out of state Drivers Licences will do to act as proof of identity.

A BC is EXPLICITLY incapable of meeting the requirements as it does not and cannot prove identity.

All these State legislature's have different rules and it's difficult to keep track - especially when some of them hide their rules in the deepest recesses of their websites.

I see these bills as more of an impediment to the other candidates than to President Obama.

He's got the campaign machine and the $$$ to make sure the conditions for each state are met (those that aren't thrown out as unconstitutional).
