Who needs dead people? Philadelphia apparently allows up to some silly number (100?) of homeless people to register to vote at any address in the city ... so for the price of a few bottles of cheap vodka you can swing a ward ... and, you don't even have to have the homeless people you registered be the ones who show up to vote.

Here in Virginia, you have to show ID, and they compare it to the list, and they make you recite your address. They don't have those checks in Penna?

The problem is what happens to your vote after you make it. If and how it's credited, for whom it's credited, how the vote can be audited and recounted if necessary.
