I think you’re MASSIVELY underestimating just how big, and sparsely populated places like Montana are. You’d have lots of people with their own personal polling station.

If, or if ever, the change was mandated, it surely wouldn’t be an issue for a country such as America to be able to provide most of these people with a free, acceptable ID. I think the US and Australia are the only two countries I know of that don’t require it.Not really
This is partially because photo IDs aren’t as common as many people assume: 18% of all citizens over the age of 65, 16% of Latino voters, 25% of Black voters, and 15% of low-income Americans lack acceptable photo ID. Elderly and low-income voters may not have the availability, financial resources, or mobility to obtain the necessary identification, and rural voters may face significant barriers to obtaining the necessary documentation due to their geographic isolation. Further, many rural and Native Americans born at home or on reservations and tribal lands lack the mandated paperwork needed to obtain a government-issued ID that fits the legal requirements to vote.
What's So Bad About Voter ID Laws? | League of Women Voters
Voter ID laws have long been debated in the United States. While supporters argue that voter photo ID laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud and ensure the integrity of elections, reality tells a different story.

Seen some votes today have been rejected due to signatures. I take it some agency is used to reference the signature on your ballot against your official (or registered) signature? Otherwise anyone could just scribble next to your name, no?
They'd need to know they are scribbling for someone who was registered at that polling place and not voting. And it's illegal.
And when I return the paper ballot that was maied to my registered address I sign to verify it is myself who has completed it.
Presumably US exit polls are nothing like as indicative of the result as UK ones, which are usually within a few seats of the result.
Releasing exit polls while voting is still going on doesn't seem particularly democratic, I gotta say.

Indiana and Kentucky begin to close at 11pm UK time. First full polls close at midnight UK time, including Georgia which could be interesting in showing where we are headed.
No it's just polling like has been done for the past 12 months, only after people have voted coming out of the polling place
Put the TV on.
BBC ITV and Channel4 are all live with it. Within the next 40 minutes.
That's how they do them here, but they don't release them until the polls close.
