Would you trust Facebook to let anyone log-in based just based on your claims of owning an account?
The supreme court just backed Arizona in reinstating voter-id proof. Clearly fraud is a concern on all sides - just ask the losing party (-> 2016).
As long as anyone with a driver's license and an SSN can register to vote, the process is just bound to be faulty no matter how many recounts you do. The prerequisites apply to many non-Americans with interests and incentives to go abuse the system.
So to me, it seems rather moot to deny voter-verification because a DMV is only open once a month and costs something? So in a car-country like the US you're not going to drive with a valid license because of that?
The problem is likely much lower with in-person voting than with mail-in if you look at all the video-documented ballot stuffing cases - Even if they're just isolated, it shows that some nefarious efforts are being made to influence elections. Securing them should become a non-partisan effort.
