Some states did barely any verification and didn’t have much protection against fake cards. In Ohio, you could show them a birth certificate and Social Security card and a few minutes later have a freshly printed ID. If you got your hands on the blank ID cards and a standard commercial card printer, you could make fake IDs all day.
