I crunched the data. I made a map.
States with no effective voter ID requirement average nearly 8x more welfare benefits to illegal immigrants compared to states requiring voter ID verification.
They are importing and paying illegals for votes.

Welfare benefit breakdown
States with no effective ID required vs ID required
Healthcare: 33% vs. 0%
Food assistance: 21% vs. 0%
Cash assistance: 71% vs. 22%
EITC: 46% vs. 0%
Methodology
Data Sources
Voter identification requirements were obtained from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), which categorizes state laws into five tiers based on strictness:
1. Strict Photo ID: must present government-issued photo identification
2. Strict Non-Photo ID: must present identification, photo not required
3. Non-Strict Photo ID: photo ID requested, but alternatives such as signing an affidavit are permitted
4. Non-Strict Non-Photo ID: ID requested, but voters may cast a regular ballot by signing an affidavit or having a poll worker vouch for identity
5. No Document Required – identity verified through signature matching, poll book verification, or similar non-documentary methods
For analysis, these five tiers were collapsed into two categories based on functional outcome: states where voters must present identification documents (tiers 1-3), and states where voters can cast a regular ballot without presenting any document (tiers 4-5).
Welfare benefit availability was compiled from the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) state policy maps (2023-2024), capturing four categories of benefits accessible to illegal immigrants:
Healthcare: State-funded health coverage for illegal immigrant adults
Food Assistance: State-funded food programs beyond federal restrictions
Cash Assistance: State-funded cash aid programs
EITC: State Earned Income Tax Credit available to ITIN filers
Sample
The analysis includes all 50 states plus the District of Columbia (N=51).
No effective ID requirement (tiers 4-5): 24 states
ID verification required (tiers 1-3): 27 states
States with no effective ID requirement average 7.7x more welfare benefits (1.71 vs 0.22) compared to states requiring ID verification.
Statistical Analysis
Each welfare category was coded as a binary variable (1=offered, 0=not offered). A composite welfare score (0-4) was calculated as the sum of benefits offered. Effect sizes were calculated using odds ratios.
