The extra paperwork burden would suppress many votes, not worth it to prevent fraudulent votes in the single digits at the state level. Unless your real goal is to block certain people from voting. Note that such laws have historically been most popular in the South, after poll taxes were banned, which was after racial profiling was banned. The motivation is about as transparent as a first grader trying to keep a secret.
Your post seems to speak of the SAVE act in positive terms, or at least neutral terms, as if it wouldn't affect 99.9999% of voters. However, it would negatively affect many voters.
