No ID required in Pennsylvania either, though there have been some attempts by tea party extremists to attach it to bills in the legislature. The state supreme court took up one of the cases and basically said that the standard practices of verification of identity used to register voters is enough, and if their name is on the voter registration roll, they sign the blank and that's enough.
If the Republicans still want to sniff around for voter fraud, I'm sure there are plenty of places to look not too far from Donald Trump. They have a primary nomination process that is intricately and deliberately designed to thwart the will of the voters, and Trump has figured out how to make it work to his advantage. There are probably plenty of messes in the register and vote today caucus states. And it's interesting that while, on the one hand, you have conservatives who are attempting to make it difficult for some constituencies to vote, you have Trump supporters taking advantage of all of the easy voting advantages. It seems, given the arguments and the whine, that conservatives are not particularly happy with this basic, core American constitutional principle known as the right to vote.
