Obama's seat going up for sale had nothing to do with voter fraud. It was fraud pure and simple. It was one greedy guy trying to cash in on it. The voters themselves have nothing to do with it.
Why is there such a determined effort to stop the voter ID laws? Because they most affect the poor and minorities who regularly vote democrat. In many states these laws also include shortening early voting days and restricting how votes are cast which also tends to affect those who vote democrat more.
I'm sure there is some fraud that happens that isn't caught. I just don't see the evidence that it is a big problem and that these laws will fix it.
