Valid ID should also be required.

With paper ballots how do we guarantee those with a right to vote who cannot travel to a secure voting location have the ability to do so?

ID is only necessary if you haven't already established the right to vote in a particular location. After that, you're on the list and it's remarkably difficult to get you off of it; as it should be.

ID requirements are frequently used in order to deny voting to people who are poor or otherwise find it difficult to get particular documents.
