The eyeball scan prevents people from signing up multiple times.

You also have to protect against insider fraud by the employees at the signup locations. So having them click "Yes, a person showed up" isn't enough.

Not everyone has ID, and not everyone wants to provide ID, and some people have multiple IDs in different names.
