You can keep saying that but that doesn't change the fact you have no idea what the extent is. Neither does it change the fact the only way to prevent voter fraud no matter what the source requires identifying who the voter is.

Maybe a new system could be devised...thumbprints ....
I already suggested it as seems to be the obvious solution for absentee voting.
Sure it would with simple indicator it's not a valid for ID voting or as I suggested streamlining the in person voting process using the ID.
Then why was the DOJ denying Florida access to that information? Why are states denyed the ability to determine US citizenship with motor voter?
They were already registered and voted, that's a huge issue.
The problem with the Florida purge is that it included a number of people who were citizens. That got the DofJ into the act. And note that a number of local voter registration operations refused to deal with the list because it was so badly done.
Such a program needs very good validation of non citizenship before it denies a citizen the right to vote.
I would think Florida needs to work out a way to validate voter eligibility that meets Federal law. But that whole process has little to do with non photo ID voting.

The actual question is how close to zero it is. Any substantial amount would have long since been identified by the many watchers of right wing persuasion.
I would support thumb prints on absentee ballots....though at this point in the art it would probably be simpler to go to internet voting. Has to come someday.
After repeated requests for the federal data that were denied.
I believe that was an issue with Florida and the Feds of Voting Rights that was settled in FL favor. I believe Florida has had access to that data base since mid 2012.
One of the remaining problems is that the Florida list came out roughly 60% Hispanic surnames while the population of FL is only about 14% Hispanic. That of course smells of Republican games.

establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.
Actually it would be a simple task to find out whether fraudulent voting is a problem. Set up a sampling plan that would be able to detect say - a tenth of a percent voting fraudulently and then look at the sample and see what the parameters are of the fraudulent votes.
You need to do it carefully as much such efforts have found the biggest source of apparently fraudulent votes was clerical error.
