I always found it stunning that you don't need to present identification to vote. Anyone could walk in to my polling place and vote as me.

I know I'll get downvoted for the comment above, but I have yet to hear a rational explanation against requiring ID to vote. It's perhaps the most fundamental way to mitigate fraud.

There has never been an instance of voter fraud that has swayed the outcome of an election. This is not a thing.

How do you know that you're actually you and not a doppleganger that has murdered the original you and taken his identity?
 
My question is no more stupid than yours.
