Is it true that voter ID fraud is a big problem in the US?!

Yes, voter ID fraud is a problem in the US, though it is largely limited to a small number of cases. In 2014, the Government Accountability Institute reported that approximately 3.5 million potential votes were lost to fraud and misconduct. However, most of this fraud is attributed to non-voter impersonation, where people fraudulently vote in someone else's name with stolen identity or an expired voter's ID. A 2014 study done in Michigan showed that inactive voter registrations can be re-activated and voter's party affiliation can be changed when there is voter ID fraud present. Voter ID laws are necessary in order to make sure that every vote cast in a given region is from a legally registered voter and is counted as such.
