You use the asterisk portion to hand-wave the issue, as though it doesn't exist ... but in actuality, it invalidates the sentence "theoretically keep Frank Cooper from voting" pretty much entirely.
Pollsters are usually volunteers, there is no way they'll be able to accurately judge the validity of an ID, nor should they be expected to. Requiring ID papers over one potential problem, but creates others to take its place.
