OK, UK types, it’s council elections day. When you go out to vote, remember that you need to take photo ID with you. Yes, it is bad that you have to do so because it harms people without IDs more than it helps stop basically-nonexistent “voting fraud”, and yes this is a flagrantly partisan measure to benefit the Tories, and yes it was put through Parliament with barely any discussion or opposition, but you still have to do it. Don’t take it out on polling station volunteers, either. #UKpolitics

@sil If it is a partisan thing to help the Tories, then Tories are incompetent; that tactic doesn't seem to work very well.

Turns out non-Tories aren't especially more likely to be incompetents who like can't get ID or something.
