If you read through the examples on that site, it's actually pretty difficult to find any that have anything to do with ID. There's things like:
- felon (this appears to be far & away the most common)
- moved
- shouldn't have even been allowed to register
- voted twice
- illegally delivered absentee ballot for another person (while not claiming to be that person)
- etc.
The common theme, aside from the absolute rarity of these events (e.g. 36 total in GA over perhaps 40 million votes over ~25 years), is that none of them would be addressed by more stringent identity verification checks at either registration or at the polls.
Clicking through the site, I actually am unable to find a single instance where enhanced ID would have helped. Not saying they aren't in there, just that apparently they are very rare events, even in a dataset of extremely rare events.
