A major probe by the Justice Department between 2002 and 2007 failed to prosecute a single person for going to the polls and impersonating an eligible voter, which the anti-fraud laws are supposedly designed to stop. Out of the 300 million votes cast in that period, federal prosecutors convicted only 86 people for voter fraud ***8211; and many of the cases involved immigrants and former felons who were simply unaware of their ineligibility.

Whoops...

Studies show that as many as 11 percent of eligible voters do not have government-issued photo ID. That percentage is even higher for seniors, people of color, people with disabilities, low-income voters, and students.

Gee, wouldn't it be convenient if we found a way to prevent these likely Democratic voters from voting? Hmmm...

If you're registered to vote, your identity has already been verified. Going beyond that to requiring ID at the polls is simply voter suppression wrapped up in the guise of solving a problem that doesn't exist.
