The Missouri Show-Me Institute reports:  Voter fraud can swing elections, especially close ones. If voter
fraud constitutes 2 percent, or 1 percent, or even 1/2 percent of the
vote total, how many races does that affect? How many statewide and
local races have you seen decided by a point or less, and how likely is
it that none of those races turned on fraudulent votes?

Every vote should count, every vote should be protected, and every
attempt to distort the will of the electorate with the casting of
illegal ballots should be turned back. Preventing voter fraud through
reasonable identification measures that we already accept to drive cars,
board airplanes, and enter some government buildings is not an undue
burden on voters’ rights to vote. Rather, it is a burden on voters’
rights to allow the floodgates of voter fraud and abuse to remain open.
