All 10. I worked four years in a county registration office, and have come to the conclusion that all the changes in electoral law since the dreadful 1993 National Voter Registration Act have, as their purpose, increasing the possibility of voter fraud. Why else would liberal Democrats keep trotting out their same BS excuses against voter IDs? You have to have an ID to do damn near anything else.

There are many, many, problems with inaccurate voter rolls caused by this - as a True Example, I FINALLY got two voters turned to inactive status last year who had, as I discovered, moved from New Mexico to Texas TEN FREAKING YEARS AGO but were still on the voter rolls, since one of the worst parts of the 1993 NVRA was that it explicitly prohibited deleting voters from the system for not voting, even if they hadn't voted in a decade.

The only justifications I've found for that part of the law involve, frankly, left-wing BS about discriminating against minority voters. Mind you, they didn't ever explain just how cleaning up the voter rolls by getting rid of people who were too damn lazy to vote in 6 or 8 years and who probably didn't even live there anymore was discriminatory. This has resulted in a LOT of "deadwood" in voter registration rolls across the country...ripe pickings for fraud, since how will anyone know, without ID, if the person who signed the roster for a deadwood voter is really that voter?
