The problem I have with "there are no voter fraud problems" is that what should be said is "there have not been many documented voter fraud problems" or "the way we define voter fraud means there is none". I would argue that requiring id would prevent it, whether or not we have documented voter fraud. One of the problems with not having any identification required to vote is that it is difficult to detect fraud. How do you know who is or who is not voting legally if you have no requirements for proving that the voter is legally entitled to vote? Dead people voting - that doesn't happen any more? Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck voting - no longer a problem? Good to know.
