It's quite a leap to go from saying that these documents are possibly falsifiable to saying that the law doesn't help alleviate potential voter fraud or that there is absolutely no effect on the integrity of the vote either way.
I acknowledge it's not hard to falsify a utility bill. However, to do it for the entire Dallas Cowboys offensive line (a famous example of false voter registrations by ACORN), is going to be at least something of a barrier.
That isn't to say it wouldn't be all that difficult to falsify lots of utility bills and such in order to commit voting fraud, it's just that in this case, there'd be a lot more evidence of the wrongdoing and authorities might therefore actually have some success in investigation.
The Crawford case, if you're passing on the poll tax issue as being successfully circumvented, goes right to the constitutionality of the statute. Whether it's a good idea or not, I dunno. As strongly as the left has come out against this, I have yet to see any Americans who have really been disenfranchised. It almost seems that the left is trying to protect the ability to commit voting fraud.
