Voter ID addresses a threat model that has been repeatedly proven to be minor at worst. It does absolutely nothing for the much more serious threat model of digital tampering.

Why do you think that that threat has proven to be minor? From what I've heard, I suspect we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Voter fraud has been going on, no doubt, for as long as voting has.

I agree that they solve different problems. I think we should use only paper ballots, and eschew all forms of electronic voting.
