You didn't mention that you are particularly concerned with this in your post, but you seem to know how the process works so I'll ask because I've always genuinely wondered with the uproar over voter ID.
So, we do know that fraud in regards to voter registration does exist. It is well documented that people have registered their dogs to vote.
I live in a state that now requires voter ID. My question is, if you have a voter registration for a fake person and you use it to vote, how do you get caught if all you need to be is registered, and don't need ID to prove you are that "person?" The registration is "valid," but even though the identity doesn't exist, how do they later on prove that it was voter fraud?
When people say it is a non existent issue, I wonder, how can they catch people who use fraudulent registrations to vote?
