Here is my question:

How will this reduce voter fraud? I don't have a problem with it. It makes sense to me that people have to prove who they are to vote, but will it really cut down on fraud.

The way it works most places (as I understand) you show up at the polls, tell them your name, sign the book and vote. If someone else tries to give your name and vote they will not allow it and likely will investigate the situation.

So is the worry that they fear a group will register a bunch of illegals or fake people then send a bunch of illegals/fake voters in to vote? Is there a history of this happening in large numbers?
