In Canada we have the same thing. You can every year when filling taxes tick off a box to update your voter info to save you the work. You also can register at the voting booth with ID, or proof of residence, or the statement of a registered voter in the area willing to vouch for you.
Basically zero voter fraud.
Voter ID and registration laws are pure voter suppression!

Indeed. I’m in Canada too so that’s why this is familiar to you. As an anecdote, I don’t drive and have no license. Once, a long time ago, an election worker was kind of insisting that I had to show one to vote. I had the other required documents and was able to vote but not having a diver’s license apparently made them suspicious. And that was my biggest hurdle with providing ID at an election!
Lots of comments can be read about people not going to vote, some even blaming them for the election results, but it’s just incredible how difficult they seem to make voting in the US.
