There is nothing wrong with requiring a high security ID to vote in itself. The problem is that the voting fraud it's trying to stop is extremely rare and in practice it will probably prevent 100 or 1000 people from voting for every 1 fraudulent vote it actually stops. Most people won't be stopped from voting due to it being impossible for them under the new requirements but rather because it increases the hurdles they have to face in order to vote.
It could backfire on the people who think it will mainly hurt the Democrats. Sometimes if certain groups perceive that you are trying to persecute them or prevent them from voting they end up turning up in record numbers. It's said this happened a bit last November. People waited up to 8 hours to vote in southern Florida last year when early voting was curtailed a bit and many polling places were closed. It only hardened their determination to vote.
