From the same link posted above



Minnesota had a population about 5million / 12million of Pennsylvania in 2011.
So assuming the same ratios of eligible voters at risk (9.2%) and of registered voters with no ID (18%)...

... 5/12 X 8,200,000 X 0.092 X 0.18 = ~ 56,000

Thus the Republicans are asserting it is better for
56,600 eligible voters lose their right to vote than have
143 people cast fraudulent votes.

I seriously disagree.

Just checking your numbers.
Minnesota: 8,200,000 voters, 9.2 % at risk = 754,400
That should be added to the number for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, etc.
I'm not sure which numbers to use for that, but 12,000,000 x 18% = 2,160,000

56,000 is wayyy low.
