Because it's impossible to lie about ones facial features. When you have your ID picture taken in PA your facial features are "fingerprinted" and that is checked against all other "fingerprints" of every ID picture they have ever taken. That's not going to prevent anyone from getting the ID the first time around but you'll never be able to get another one under a different name such as your real name. In addition to that they will also use it for comparisons in criminal activity.

Pennsylvania Facial Recognition Systems Integrate to Widen Search for Criminals

But since JNET’s Facial Recognition System could only compare photos against images of previously arrested or convicted criminals listed in the statewide database, JNET needed a new method for finding suspects unknown to law enforcement. To broaden its image comparison capabilities, in May, JNET’s facial recognition technology was integrated with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)’s facial recognition system. PennDOT stores 36 million driver’s license and identification photo images in a photo repository.




PennDOT maintains its own facial recognition system due to concerns over the issuance of duplicate or fraudulent licenses. Luci Stone, a JNET criminal biometrics specialist, said because the system is only used for those specific criminal investigation purposes, the technology is not in use for image comparisons on the general public.




“They’re looking to make sure no one steals someone’s identity or tries to get a couple different licenses,” said Stone.

And what if an illegal has the fake paperwork needed for an ID in PA and there is no photo recollection of the identity they are using? I have never had my picture taken in PA, so what would they compare my face to?

Are purposely being obtuse? A PA ID requires a birth certificate or immigration papers and if you have them you'd have to be some kind of idiot to try and obtain an illegitimate one. That leaves us with people that can't obtain an ID legitimately under any circumstances . If you are able to fake those documents then you'd be able obtain an ID illegitimately. That's not the point though, you can never get another ID in PA except under those credentials which is a risk itself.

Were you in the voting booth with her? Do you actually know who she voted for? Do you know for a fact that if one registers with a party they would never vote for the opposing party??

Seeing how she was illegal, I would think she would vote for the party that is rallying to make every illegal immigrant an instant citizen of the US.

She registered as a Republican, but it is unknown which candidates she voted for or if her voting affected any close elections.

Like was said before though, one less republican voter.
Oh, another person who knows who she voted for because you were in the voting booth with her?

Apparently you did not read the article as it stated voter ID laws would not have prevented this.

But it isn't impossible, granted there are much easier ways to vote illegally than to vote in person.

As do most democrats. Most is not ALL. There are many variables, but I'm not going to point them out. Let's just keep making assumptions and paint everyone the same with one stroke of the brush because that's the norm today.

I opined she was Republican as that was listed in the article. I made no comment on how she voted.
