"It doesn't sound hugely secure, does it... but postal/absentee ballots aside, there just don't seem to be problems."
Do your "bobbies" still not carry guns, too?
Seriously, sounds ripe for fraud. Just steal the cards from post boxes and send replacement 'voters' out early on election day.
Frankly, there is, IMHO, no valid reason for opposing picture IDs to vote. We (finally, after repeated court challenges and rewrites of the law) require them in my state, having made voter IDs easily available for free if you don't have another accepted form (driver's license, passport, military ID, etc.). There is no longer any excuse not to have one, yet even if you don't, you can still vote with a 'provisional' ballot that is subject only to later verification of your identity.
The arguments against photo IDs to vote are pure political BS - lies designed to make minority and elderly voters think that (mostly) Republican lawmakers are trying to deny them a vote. A dishonest scare tactic.
