An Idaho lawmaker said that student IDs are a source of fraud at the polls, but she cited no examples. The majority of Idaho voters use their driver’s license as their voter ID. Voter fraud is rare in Idaho.
voter fraud is"rare,""There have been no recent instances of fraud that we're aware of using student IDs," said Chelsea Carattini, a spokesperson for Secretary of State Phil McGrane, a Republican.
"The argument rings false to me," Burns said. Poll workers inspect student IDs the same way as they inspect a driver’s license, he said. Lorraine Minnite, a Rutgers University professor and voter fraud expert, told PolitiFact that she knew of no cases nationally in which a voter used a student ID to fraudulently register or vote.The majority of states require voters to show an ID to vote. In some states, that must be a photo ID, in others, a bank statement suffices.
