It's all a wash of corruption with everyone fighting simply for what benefits them the most.
I fail to see how verifying that a person who is ineligible to vote does NOT vote is not imminently defensible. The only reason that you can argue against it,is if you

1. have a better plan on verification.
2. do not care about verification.
3. Honestly believe there is not and will NEVER be any voting corruption( really??).

The mere fact that a large majority of the citizenry believe that verification of voting bonafides is needed to ensure integrity of elections (recall JFK and chicago meme for example) means that it should be taken seriously. If nothing but to make sure elections are still peaceful endeavors.
