In my state, you receive a voter ID card. It's a non-photo ID that is sent by the city, village, or township clerk that indicates your polling place, and provides a place for you to sign.

In order to get a voter ID card, you must provide some evidence that you live at that residence. Either a drivers license, State ID, rent receipt, or a utility bill.

The polling place then has a voter role, which includes your name and address.

When you go to vote you attest to your identity (you sign a tear-off card at the bottom of your ballot), hand the card to the poll worker, and they verify your signature.

While it is possible to commit voter ID fraud in my state, you can't easily do so without the poll workers failing to do their jobs.

In order to do so, you'd have to obtain the voter ID card. Since that is mailed within 30 days of registering by the clerks office, it is unlikely that someone could intercept it.
