It's not that it's hard or even impractical (it's not that I disagree with the ID checking as a way to prevent voter fraud). It's plain not legal.

Despite what you may say, until the ID's are offered for free, checking ID violates Amendment 24 of the Constitution. Basically, there can be NO COST associated with voting, and currently, getting an ID in any state has cost associated with it.
