No, it won't stop the enterprising from voting illegally, if it's worth it to them. As you say, this isn't breaking into Fort Knox. That's true, however, in more ways than one---there's only a little gold at the voting booth for the illegal voter. It's no Fort Knox.

The Democrats, of course, simply want as many illegals and repeaters voting as possible, and it's that "constituency" which they don't want to see "suppressed". If it's easy as pie, and worth a little something now or later to the frauds and trespassers, they'll be there in droves. If it's an uptight scene where official people want official ID from everybody, and INS types around, maybe, it may not be worth the trouble. For some reason, illegals disfavor official backdrops where their illegal status may actually result in something serious, something other than "How may we serve you, without offending your dignity by reminding you of your proper status under immigration law?"---you know, like it is for Guatemalans in Mexico. Yes, those sinister illegal-alien subversives, all six of them, will still find a way to slither through the deadly Photo ID net and cast their illicit vote. On the other hand, a large percentage of the other twenty million illegals may just decide to bypass the voting station altogether. As it should be.
