The fundamental disagreement over voter registration is that Republicans claim that collecting false or redundant registrations results in voter fraud. It does not. If Mickey Mouse registers to vote, that does not mean that he is going to show up to vote. There has never in the history of the United States been a proven case of voter fraud. What there has been are situations where the persons responsible for running the election have tried to influence the outcome, and isolated cases where people have tried to vote who were not allowed to do so (i.e., ex-felons) and occasionally people who have tried to vote multiple times. If you don't believe me, look it up. Between 2002 and 2005, the DoJ at the behest of the Bush Administration tried to prosecute voter fraud aggressively and found 25 cases nationwide.
Watch this discussion between Republican Party, propaganda division, Laura Ingraham, and constitutional lawyer John Flannery, in which Flannery tries to talk sense and Ingraham tries to shout him down.
