Not in the popular vote - but small pockets in swing states can definitely swing elections because of how the electoral college works. You effect one state and that could be enough.
Also, this is a straw man argument anyway. The fact is that proof of ID should be required as it is for almost everything else. Whether or not it isn't a major issue is irrelevant.
Again - if it's so irrelevant why is the DNC up in arms and litigating this issue?

Just noting. We've got a close election going on up in here.

Yes, and we've already addressed that these examples of voter fraud are happening in areas where there aren't close elections.

Then, by the constitution, you'd have to make it free. Even if ID cards cost $1 you wouldn't be able to enforce them as that is considered a poll tax, which is unconstitutional. I get what you're saying and I tend to agree, that's just the challenge there.

Litigating voter ID issue? So they can pander to minorities that they feel it disenfranchises. Has less to do with voter fraud and more to do with strengthening their stronghold in minorities.

The RNC is so pro stringent ID laws because it's easier to disenfranchise voters who they can't get to vote for them, rather than do more to convince them to vote red.
