If there is little fraud, why the need for extra regulations on it?
It's biased because it disproportionately affects certain segments of the population in favor of or for a generally more favorable(to those doing the changing) demo. A lot of places, a photo isn't required at all on gov't issued id's, let alone photo, supporting documents such as a birth certificate or other. Poor people, for example, may not be able to get to a DMV or may not need to at all if they don't have a car and no need to drive.
Some places the proposed regulations for voting are tighter than for buying a gun.
Different states have been taking different steps to disenfranchise voters so YMMV.
