FWIW, I think it would need to be trialled first and then initially should be paper ID being acceptable. I see no issue with someone bringing a form of address or something. I've worked many elections and if anything it speeds things up when people bring the letters with them. I just dont think we have much to lose.
It doesn't matter if they're not trying to steal votes (even though they are), this is the result.

Many people can't afford ID or don't have any, what's your plan to get around that?
