Neither does a Social Security Number, it only demonstrates taxes being levied. You must be a US citizen to vote, but anyone can get any or all of the three mentioned pieces of identification without US citizenship. * Signature verification is of questionable efficacy at best. Most of us here likely agree that signing the back of your credit card in this day and age is hardly secure, why is that different in elections? Recounts also don't matter, because at that point the ballot is separated from the voter (ballots do not have identifying information); recounts cannot remove illegal ballots. * California explicitly refuses asking the hypothetical voter to demonstrate their eligibility; see the cited law again. * The claim that asking for voters to demonstrate their eligibility is disenfranchisment is, as someone who cares about free and fair elections, patented bullshit. * Last is my anecdote, which I doubt needs repeating. I have no trust in Californian election integrity because California does nothing to convince me so.

I can walk into the polls, ask for a ballot and get one, and then fill it in and deposit it, all without anyone so much as asking who [...] I am. Source for this claim? They have asked my name every time I have voted in person. Social Security Number [...] only demonstrates taxes being levied. Another unsourced claim. The state can, and likely does, check whether the SSN belongs to a citizen or not. Same with state ID, they know whether the ID was issued to a citizen or noncitizen.
