I've been accused of being too serious on this blog, so I'll take one case that the Supreme Court has decided to hear, and consider an issue that is a bit different than the one that the Court agreed to hear. In Indiana, where body cavity searches are the rule [My Prior Post on this issue], not the exception, voters are required to present government issued ID cards to vote. I guess this is to prove that you indeed reside in Indiana (something a body cavity search would not necessarily reveal) and that you are of the legal age to vote.
Aside from all the pre-teens that would apparently be permitted to vote in Indiana (because every self-respecting 14-year-old has an ID that says they are 21), age is hardly a decent gauge of whether you should be voting. Although many races are like voting for your favorite Brady Bunch character, making an intelligent and reasoned choice remains the work of a small minority of the populace.
