Given that, I don't understand how a non-citizen would get on the voter rolls. I suppose it is possible, but not likely.

My ex girlfriend had someone else using her Social Security Number, so she had to get a new one.
My deceased dad was on the voter rolls in 11-2008; he passed away in 9-2008 ... people can pretty easily get lists/obituaries of recently deceased and if no ID was required .. Hi, I'm xxxx xxxxx here to vote (again under this other name) I didn't bring my voter reg card, you can look me up on the computer sheet, yes, I'm still at XXXXXXXXXXaddressxxxxxxxx

That's why government issued photo ID should be required.

Another form of ID besides my old student ID is my County Government issued Library card with my photo on it ... but they aren't acceptable for voting I don't believe, and my Justice League of America membership card doesn't have my photo nor prove I have super powers so they don't accept it either.

One must have 1) a voter's Registration card AND 2) an accepted Voter ID
As they look me up on the computer sheets after I hand them my Voter Registration card, each time they say "Oh, there's a note on the computer printout sheet says 'driver's license,'" so I've had to show it for at least since 2005. No idea why.
