Unsubstantiated fear mongering erodes confidence.
The opposite side of this coin is voter suppression. A vote suppressed is exactly as bad as a fraudulent vote. But, I think I'm in the minority on the voter ID opinion, and I want people to be confident in democracy, so I hope we can come to a compromise.
I'll vote for voter ID if you vote for expanding access to voting. Make election day a holiday. Make issuance of voter IDs automatic. Switch to no-excuse absentee ballots everywhere. Expand early voting options.

Suppression has and continues to be an actual problem. Even in just this election:

Late edit: Downvotes. Hysterical. Wonder if it’s the vote suppression advocates or the folks who disagree with voter ID. No fans of compromise?
