Well, I'm in Denver CO, where the humidity is always extremely low,
and I've seen the exact same thing as you.   I've even experimented
with using fans to blow air inside the tank toward the front glass
in an effort to reduce the fogging.

As long as the tank is covered and has some water in it, the
humidity level will be plenty high inside.   I've got mosses
(java moss and christmas moss), several anubias, several crypts,
and Hydrocotyle leucocephala all growing great above the
water in my paludarium.
