Abstract:
Contrary to claims made by prominent newspapers and attorneys, in-person voting fraud is a real problem. It is also widespread, as documented in reports and court cases from around the country. Voter-ID requirements directly target in-person voting fraud; would prevent illegal aliens from casting votes; and, contrary to the claims of opponents, do not affect voter turnout.
