That is true in most other states that have had similar litigation. There is plenty of voter fraud involving absentee ballots, and miscounting the votes, but that kind of voter fraud has nothing to do with voter ID at the polls. It's not generally worth the risk for a crook to impersonate someone else at the polls. First he or she must make the sign-in signature match. Then he or she runs the risk that someone at the polls will know the voter who is being impersonated. All that risk, just to cast one illegal vote, isn't worth it.
