So what's the problem with all these voter ID checks, then?

Voter fraud is a largely imaginary phenomena in modern US voting. There are people who for whatever the reason don't have photo ID, and it's difficult to get ahold of because the state services suck(like in WV where the DMVs are only open one day a week and few and far between). You have to present your voter registration card anyway, and a line is struck off on the list of voters in the district the district polling place has. This alone greatly minimizes fraud, since several people can't just hit the same district again and again.


That said, I wouldn't be opposed to, say, putting your thumbprint next to your ballot(or on the voter scanner machine). This would create a pretty much ironclad defense against voter fraud and wouldn't require ID other than your voter registration card. People wouldn't go for it thought because OMFG BIG BROTHER MARK OF THE BEAST.
