Buying a fake ID is orders of magnitude more difficult than looking up a name and using it when voting, isn't it?
And it's only a scant risk-reward balance if voting individually. If something organized and can send 10k-20k votes, that can tip plenty of elections IIRC.

It was an entirely on-the-phone transaction. Buying a fake ID in America is orders of magnitude easier than false voting. > If something organized and can send 10k-20k votes This is a legitimate concern. It is entirely unaddressed by voter ID requirements.
