that can provide these numbers (fraud voting) because there literally aren't any, perhaps 1 in 1,000,000,000 attempts (and I'm probably understating this figure too).

This is a clear and blatant violation of one's constitutional right to vote in a democracy. This is wrong and because a lot of the repug states are all going in different ways in their so called voter suppression efforts in different manners, the feds need to step in and regulate the whole thing and rule all other state efforts in limiting voting invalid.

to shove their voter suppression crap through.

VRA needs to be not weakened but expanded and strengthened at Fed level to stop this shit and the gerrymandering too (require districts be drawn by non-political, non-partisan committee who are NOT elected officials).

As I understand it, the whole voter ID thing is about requiring voters to show an ID at the polling place. Maybe there's more to it, but that's what I understand.

If that's correct, I don't see where the problem is. Having a valid ID is not a big deal: a driver's license, state-issued ID, passport, anything with your name and picture on it.

What is it about this voter ID thing that I don't understand?

if voter id effectively denies the right to vote to 300,000 citizens, shouldn't north carolina suffer a proportionate reduction in its share of seats in the house of representatives per the 14th amendment?
