So why do you think some of those current proofs are not valid, and must be eliminated by more restrictive laws? We know there is little to no voter fraud.

You don't currently need a photo voter ID to vote in Colorado. Do you think that's fine as current, or do you think that the Colorado voting law should be changed so that a photo voter ID must be required?
