Republicans care about voter fraud; Democrats want to come out ahead, says study - Washington Times: 
"When it comes to voter ID laws, Republicans care intensely about fraud while Democrats worry more about whether their own party will come out ahead, according to a provocative new academic study that challenges conventional assumptions about what motivates support for stricter voting laws.
Voting-rights activists have long accused GOP officeholders of racism or political expedience in fights over voting laws, but the study suggests that at least for average voters, Republicans’ support is a good-faith assessment of dangers they see in illegal voting.
...If told the GOP would suffer from stricter voter-ID laws, Democrats become more supportive, Mr. Kane found.
...Democrats really appear to be concerned about the electoral implications, not so much fraud,” Mr. Kane told The Washington Times."
