Well there is one group in America that’s much more concerned about the issues of voter and welfare fraud than the other, but it’s exactly the reverse of what you’re describing here. These issues represent some of the most controversial elements of Trump’s platform.
The issue of voter id has a weaker legal basis than any of the issues relating to welfare reform. In the past it’s been argued to violate the 14th and 15th amendments, but this line of reasoning hasn’t been upheld by recent supreme count decisions [0].
More contemporary arguments against it tend to center around the 24th amendment, and arguing that it represents a polling tax. But this argument hasn’t had much success either [1], though I’m not sure if it’s been fully explored by the Supreme Court.
