I think the massive conspiracy thing falls a little flat. Show me an example where a Republican crackdown on voter fraud has had positive results? Why does everyone freak out when people ask for more gov't involvement with guns? Because everyone knows, they'll fuck it up royally.
It does seem odd to me that I can just vote with a name. As I said before, what prevents me from using my neighbor's name? What if I went in my Grandpa's old district and tried to vote? If someone wants me to show my driver's license to vote - fine with me. Don't get me started on the DMV, my picture is from when I was 18, I'm now 42. So how good is that? People who actually need to see picture ID do a double take and I have to explain to them - does that look like my kid in the picture? Well it is 20+ years old.
My wife and I have been married 17 years, yet she still has to vote under her maiden name through her old district because every time she fills out the form nothing happens.
I think Trump is throwing out a red herring. I think people are giving gov't too much credit. Disorganization is the issue over actual fraud.
For the people who typically argue for less gov't in everything, you seem to want to add a lot of it, just in a different way.

Immigration: E-Verify Amendment Defeated
one thing that never ever will happen (for reasons already discussed)
they will put an ID code on all of our foreheads before they will let something that effectively decides legal citizenship happen. The goal is control of those who live here. Just not over citizenship status.
That is why they are so eager to give everyone else guns (cartels, isis) while taking away and whittling away at our 2nd Amendment rights at home.
