WSJ Opinion Journal goes into some detail on the potential for voter fraud with the lack of a system to identify voters:
The Liberal Assault on Voter ID Laws. “People in the good state of Missouri need photo identification to cash a check, board a plane or apply for food stamps. But the state Supreme Court has ruled that a photo ID requirement to vote is too great a burden on the elderly and the poor. Go figure.”
On the heels of the democrat front group ACORN being discovered with 1500 fraudulent voter registrations submitted by its St. Louis office, Missouri citizens were today informed that their new Voter ID law had been declared unconstitutional.
The justices said requiring otherwise legitimate voters to obtain an appropriate ID imposed too great of a burden on their voting rights.
This year in Missouri, ACORN has turned in about 40,000 new voter registrations. Half of those were in St. Louis.
ACORN fired several workers in 2003 after turning in over 1000 bogus registrations. Unreadable cards, duplicate registrations, underage voters, dead people, and forged signatures turned up in Ohio, Minnesota, North Carolina and Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
