Why? For appearances? Serious question... not following the logic.
The largest populations of illegal immigrants are in (off the top of my head) Texas, Cali, NY and Ill... I'd start there

Ohio investigation found 385 non-US citizens registered to vote, 82 cast illegal ballots
according to fairus.org (which I'm sure leans right), they estimate the illegal alien population of Ohio to be around 110,000 out of 11.9mm nationally. They say (and I suspect link) that DHS estimates the total at 11.43mm ( so they're close) but DHS only lists the top 10 lastgest states, and ohio isn't one of them. I looked at Texas... and fairus estimates 1.81mm illegals, and DHS estimates 1.83mm.... for cali it's 2.635 and 2.82... so they DO seem to be reasonable (unless you think DHS in 2012 was cooking the books)
so... Ohio isn't really representative of places like Cali and NY and Ill and Tx... It's the 7th most populous state and nowhere close to the top 10 in illegals... and i feel confident that there is 'safety in numbers'... meaning that the more people you know who are cheating, the more likely you are to cheat as well...
Bottom line is that the left uses statistics to argue that voter ID disenfranchises people, though they are rarely able to produce any actual people... YOU have proven that actual people have been disenfranchised by having their legal votes canceled by illegal ones.
Nobody (from the right anyway) said (seriously) that the illegal votes in this country would have swayed a Presidential election... but surely you can imagine that even just 83 votes... much less a few thousand could sway a number of elections on things like 'sanctuary cities'.
