"Photo ID laws stop more fraud than they stop lawful votes."

Neutral summary. The claim compares two quantities that are both hard to count: ballots cast by someone who is not eligible, and lawful voters who do not vote because they lack ID. This page does not treat either number as known just because it is argued. Posted by sample_member · 9 days ago · 640 followers

Before this leans either way, the two sources need the same years and the same geography. Right now they might be describing different places.
