or basically any other government-issued ID.

Ahh, I see you've never had a transit id then. Here's the Transit Discount Photo ID Application for Roseville, CA - https://roseville.ca.us/government/departments/public_works/... . Only need a city utilities statement for that one.

That gotcha answer aside ... since the existing amount of in-person voting fraud is something like a few dozen cases per decade - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_impersonation_(United_St... - what justifies the need for higher strictness than a college id? Or even a city transit id?

Or, you know, no id it all.

The number of cases we've caught might be low, but when your safeguards are so lax that it's easy to get away with fraud without a trace, that doesn't mean much.

There is no evidence that the safeguards are lax. Despite a LOT of time, work, and money spent trying to demonstrate it over the last 10-20 years.

After the 2020 election people searched high and low to dreg up examples, finding only a paltry few.

If it's so lax, how would you go about doing it?
