I think part of the problem with requiring ID is the fee paid to obtain the ID. It establishes what is essentially a 'poll tax', which is strictly forbidden. I seem to recall there was a court case which stated that explicitly, but don't care enough to try to find it right now.

The biggest problem with cracking down on voter fraud is doing it without disenfranchising certain sets of voters. It's not easy to come up with additional rules or requirements for voting that won't exclude someone.
