E)  Except you know... false votes would still count.  Good fake IDs cost a lot of money, and you have no actual rpoof that it's a statistically minute portion since i've proved that it's a nearly undetectable with current laws. 


So in essence, wouldn't that mean that enacting a law to vote with photo ID would reserve all voter fraud to the fabulously wealthy, who can afford these fake IDs?

Not exactly.  It would still be expensive as hell to do and put a real cost to fraud that even goes undetected though.  Which means a lot when the average case is likely one guy voting 2-3 times because he knows other people who won't be able to vote.

It's not as restricted to the rich as say... hiring a quality hit man to kill someone.

In general too, done in LARGE doses would mean there would be a fairly large money trail.  So if a Koch or Soros tried to do it, there would be a financial footprint someone might uncover.  Either now or later.
