You misunderstand the reality that corrupt people are the norm in some places. They must derive a mechanism of sustenance, one way or another. This "one way" is preferable to "another".

There should be a requirement in every state, in every voting district, that a photo ID must be shown in order to prove not only citizenship but the individual’s authentic right to vote as the person they claim to be.
