You and I agree that voting is important, and that laws which encourage fraud are bad. The current Democrat ideal for provisional voting is that any voter could vote anywhere. This encourages attempts at fraud. One of the primary safeguards against each individual registered voter voting twice is that they have to sign the roles on the one line their name appears on at their polling place. Provisional voting as described above make it much harder to prevent double voting. It would be even more difficult to prevent collaborative fraud by partisans who might mix provisional votes in with the legitimate votes.
