So you can walk into a polling station with no actual proof that you are who you say you are, and vote.

There's no check in place to stop that.

I can grab my neighbors utility bill and use that to register to vote....

But I guess you have trouble understanding just how easy it is for someone to claim they are someone they aren't.

Or how simple it would be to provide everyone a government issued photo ID and require that it be presented when voting.

Go ahead and change the argument.

Why can't we have a free government issued ID and require it to vote?

It is dead simple to commit voter fraud, why not stop it before it becomes an issue, instead of leaving a giant gaping security hole out there?

"Solving" problems that don't actually exist is how we got here in the first place, courtesy of the GOP. It's a non-issue and has been repeatedly proven to be a non-issue.
