The clear issue with that system is that it is open to abuse if the poll card ends up in the hands of someone wishing to commit fraud. Also, saying that only a handful of fraud issues were identified doesn't mean that there weren't more. It could mean that the fraud was not discovered due to lack of ID
I dont really have a problem with showing ID .... you have already registered so it isn't a privacy issue. At the moment, you don't need to show your polling card to vote, you can do so by showing ID, so basically all that is being said is that ID is more secure than polling card, and in that, I tend to agree
