And if the person has no finger prints on file, how are they to identify the person? Some sort of magic the rest of us don't know about.
Oh hey there's that old person no one knows, put them through the super duper special secret person identifier machine!

An estimated 15% of voting age folks. Seriously, there is virtually no voter fraud that could be prevented by picture IDs. Seriously.
It makes it harder to vote for no reason whatsoever.

Elderly citizens are less likely to possess government-issued photo identification.
Survey results indicate that seniors disproportionately lack photo identification. Eighteen percent of American citizens age 65 and above do not have current government-issued photo ID.9 Using 2005 census estimates, this amounts to more than 6 million senior citizens.

About the only reasonable measure that could be taken IMO is a Thumb print system simular to what law enforcement uses.It could match prints from year to year,check to see if the same print appears on any other ballot and even be ran against the areas known felons and wouldn't cost anybody anything(directly) or give any unwarranted info about them....but the right wouldn't go for that because it doesn't disenfranchise anybody.

Plus, just imagine the outcry when people are told their fingerprints would be kept on file! The government would be potentially tracking them every time they touched something! 
Obviously a system requiring a photo ID would be much less intrusive.

i am anti anything that forces citizens not under suspicion or charged with a crime to a police station...
having to cast your vote before law enforcement officials sounds very anti democratic to me
