Interesting, your link didn't provide one sentence in support of your argument that this would lead to massive voter fraud. In fact, it states this:

"As part of an effort to curb identity fraud, the measure would mandate the use of a "biometric" identification system, in which fingerprints would be matched against a statewide database."

The previous bills Davis vetoed were not the "same" bill, either.
Can these people read or not (or did you mean they couldn't pass the written for some other reason, Shagg?). If not, why or how could they vote?
Regardless, there isn't anything stopping motivated people to vote illegally (lol, as if I need mention that depriving people living and working within the state is anything but anti-representative government--
exactly what our founders shed their blood for.).
You can walk into any DMV right now and request a license, take a test, and fill out a voting form. You can't, however, just walk into a polling place to vote. Your information is verified before it's placed on a list. Felons on parole have driver's licenses--they can't vote until they are off parole but we aren't up in arms about how much fraud they are committing. We aren't because we know that their names won't be valid when they're checked and we also know (assuming you actually read the form you signed) that any misinformation you place on the form is a felony.
Ah, but the people are here illegally you may exclaim, they don't care about felonies. Well then, you should mention to the non-Californians here that your voter form is sent to your house and that you need two pieces of proof of residence before you can have a licencse.
If they lie on the form and actually try to vote they have to give their real address. The enforcement agencies can then drive around town and swoop everyone up. So either a) they aren't going to fill out the form and put their names on the radar or b) they put their names on the radar, their name comes back from the registry as a non-citizen, and enforcement agents go to their house and send them to prison for five years before deporting them.
My goodness, the horror, people actually voting where their tax money will be spent. I mean, we all saw this part of the bill, right:

"Senate Bill-60 would allow illegal immigrants to submit a taxpayer identification number in order to obtain driver's licenses."
