What I'm saying is this:If Frank Cooper is dead, but someone claiming to be him voted as him, it means Frank Cooper is still on the voter registration rolls. Requiring a photo ID might or might not keep an imposter from voting. But removing Frank Cooper from the registration lists would keep anyone from voting as Frank Cooper. The logical and more effective solution to the problem is not photo IDs, it's up-to-date registration lists.
