There are security features on a driver’s license / state ID system. Enhanced features are checked at TSA for PAX. They can be checked at polling places.
Is it possible? Sure. Is it difficult to fake? Yes.
Not like the old days with a easy to fake ID that said you are 21 when you were 18 are gone.
Making it difficult reduces fraud. Cannot say it is 100% perfect. But if you reduce 95% to 99% of the crime, you have accomplished a lot.
Like making it difficult to counterfeit a $20. Can it be done? Sure. But if you put in enough security features, you make it difficult enough to stop most of the crime.
