Here's the conundrum:
Enact laws to require photo ID will prevent extremely rare instances (very good data this) at the expense of disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters (in Canada, millions in the US).

False dichotomy.
3. Provide every citizen with a free government photo ID when they turn 18, renewable every 10 years if the person has no other form of government photo Id. This will prevent voter fraud in the rare close races where voter fraud could actually make a difference and provide everyone with the id they need to take more easily take advantage of government programs, open a bank account, etc.
