"If you don't have a problem with voter fraud, why should anyone else?"

Ah yes, that trademark of the Right, the straw man, makes his treacherous, but inevitable appearance...

One, I never said I didn't have a problem with voter fraud. Two, it only tackles one form of voter fraud, one that there is no evidence that even exists. Three, many of the attempts at it have as a primary component of making it very difficult for certain classed of legitimate voters to be able to vote. In fact, in many cases, that seems to be the main intent.

If voter fraud is the concern, there are lots of ways to tackle the issue. This is sort of like increasing airline security by banning carry on liquids. It doesn't really address the problem and it greatly increases the inconvenience of those it applies to.
