How important is voter ID to insuring honest elections?

Florida finds 180K non-citizen voters - Mark Tapscot/Washington Examiner

Well, Florida was decided by less than 500 votes in 2000. A dozen years later, officials in the Sunshine State have found more than 180,000 registered voters who may not be U.S. citizens, according to Reuters.

Each of the 180,000 individuals are being contacted by state officials and asked to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship. People seeking Florida drivers licenses are required to verify their citizenship. The 180,000 names showed up in a data analysis comparing voter registration rolls with drivers license records.
