These new restrictive laws may stop a few cases of isolated fraud (which 
tend to always occur, anyway), but they dramatically reduce the number of 
people who will be able to vote - mostly tailoring the restrictions to 
target communities of low-income minorities.

In Arizona, they are actually trying to make a law that the legislators 
can simply overrule the results of the election and select their own set 
of electors.

You say your house has never been burglarized; yet, you still lock the 
doors. These new laws are somewhat Draconian, however. It's not simply 
"locking the doors." It would be a better comparison if you said, "My 
house has never been burglarized, but I still want the police to drive by 
my house every hour on the hour to make sure everything is OK. My house 
has never been on fire, but I still want the fire department to have a 
truck in my neighborhood, 24/7." The protection does more widespread harm 
than good because it depletes resources putting many OTHER houses in 
danger. Sure, it's great for YOUR house but it would not serve the greater 
good.
