In this case a common Republican position is that voter fraud is a big problem worth devoting serious resources to, and that a good solution to that problem is a voter ID program, and (leaving the Republican position now) very clearly the best and fairest solution for that is just to issue an official ID for every citizen (and god knows that'd make a ton of other stuff less prone to problems/fraud, more convenient to citizens, and cheaper), but they also really don't want a citizen ID program, so even if they were well-intentioned in their calls for voter ID they'd end up coming off as incoherent and disingenuous once you put those two positions together. And that's if.
