   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMelanie Hazelip said registered voters don't need to bring anything to vote.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Secretary of State's office says she gave accurate information about state election law.

4. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, freeze it. Turning point. A registered voter can vouch for up to eight people, and I bet the clip does the bravest thing a clip can do. It ends.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe voucher goes to the polling place with them and signs an oath verifying their address. That's on the Secretary of State's fact sheet.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe oath doesn't get shared. Nobody has ever posted a signature line with the caption 'you won't believe this.'

7. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody shares the frame where someone signs a form. Terrible thumbnail.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCritics say the system puts enormous faith in a signature. That's a real argument, and it's about the oath, not the clip.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVerdict: the debate deserves the whole replay.
