Come on, do you really expect us to believe you believe this? People want to prevent people from voting fraud not from voting. Voting more than once for the same election, that's fraud. Voting if your not a citizen, that's fraud. Voting in a swing state that you are just visiting instead of the "safe" state you normally reside in is fraud. Just because you don't get caught doesn't make it right and remember that both side learn each others tricks. Don't be surprised if you see busloads of Texans moving here for a day or two in 2016.

Back to library cards, this residency PITA stuff comes for the same reason, people try to game the system. People want resident college rates, resident fishing licenses, and resident car insurance when they really don't live here. It's just like cheating on your taxes, sure sometimes you can get away with it but that doesn't make it right.
