Marc Guilfoil, the commission's deputy executive director, said holograms used on the Kentucky licenses were not accurately done on the fake licenses, which led to the discovery. Investigators went to a convenience store in Louisville where two fake ID labs were found that were used to produced fake resident alien cards, Social Security cards, driver's licenses and other forms of identification in addition to the race licenses.
