Having a photo id requirement would not have changed this situation. If I understand this case correctly. The felons were incorrectly on the list of valid voters and voted under their own names. Having a photo id confirming their identity would not have prevented them from voting.
If they can afford a fake ID they sure as hell can afford a real one.
What is your point?
The issue I raised is whether or not photo IDs actually would prevent voter fraud, particularly from an organized effort. Isn't that the point of photo IDs; preventing people from voting under an assumed identity.

Photo Id from where, the video store, Costco or the a State ID card? It will make a difference.

Read the linked article. Faking state photo IDs are not that difficult. A group intent on providing fake IDs for the purpose of committing voter fraud could do it relatively cheaply.
The fake license features an address of his choice, a fake birthday, his photo and all the credentials of an authentic ID card including watermarks only detected by the black light, he said.

It cannot prevent 100% but it can sure put a big dent in it.
If you don't match the picture on your ID that's one less fraudulent vote.
One person, one vote.
A picture ID might have prevented this woman from registering 6 times.
To quote the libs..."If you're not doing anything wrong than what's the big deal?"
"The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures."

I wonder why you all are making this so hard? Something that is free should not be a problem. I don't want to hear "well they don't drive", well how in the heck are they getting to the voting place?
As for write in votes....I guess it would just have to be up to the integrity of people at that point....or just pull it completely...

Registering and voting are 2 separate events. If you can get an invalid voter registered, what would stop you from providing that voter with a fake photo ID?

It's better than what we have today..walking in and signing a name.
Are you for or against trying to do what it takes to prevent fraudulent voting ?
Making a mountain out of a molehill. People have IDs. Let them show the ID when they vote.

The voting place can be in the building they live in, or some place they can walk to, or bused to the polling place. I know several people that no longer drive. I know people who have never driven.
As to why I'm making this so hard, I'm against adding extra obstacles which will most likely just disenfranchise certain segments of the population for no practical purpose. Photo IDs will not prevent organized efforts of voter fraud.
