The Heritage Foundation alone found 300 documented cases of voter fraud:
Your study really drives home the point that fraud is virtually non existent...more importantly, the effect of voter fraud on election outcomes is virtually nil. Your report of cases spans more than a dozen years, several geographies, and elections from very local to regional to national. Just factor the handful of votes across many years over the total number of votes cast and tell me that this is a problem. No way.
This is not just my opinion...study after study has found the same result...the courts have all said with virtual unanimity that states with voter ID laws have consistently failed to prove fraud in court. This is very well known...not really up for dispute.

Remember that back in 2000, an election was decided by 500 votes in Florida. Preventing fraud is extremely vital in preserving the sanctity of our democratic process.
Florida proves the point perfectly...there were far more voter errors, counting errors, ballot screw ups, election commission mistakes, etc...than any demonstrated intentional voter fraud....so what did florida do? enacted a voter id law, reduced the number of voting days, reduced or eliminated early voting, and the like, while the voting methodology, equipment, stayed practially the same. What we saw in 2008 and 2012? Lines miles long in many precints...stopping voter fraud? I don't think so...NOBODY thinks so.
The only ones who disagree are the ones who benefit from said fraud.
Dude, again, this is simply a smokescreen.
