If only that were the case. If what you say is true, then why do all the statistics show that the majority of Voter ID laws being put forth will prevent more legitimate voters from participating in the process than they will prevent fraudulent votes?
As far as I can tell, it mostly is a partisan divide. Many people on the right refuse to see how the laws they favor will negatively impact the poor and underprivileged who vote on the left, and many on the left refuse to accept that sensible measures should be taken to combat voter fraud, even if the only real outcome is to increase voter faith in the system.

I fully agree with your last paragraph.
As for your use of "statistics"--who made those studies? Are they completely objective, or were they produced by a consultant to show a certain result?
