A Question About Voter ID

There are many in this country that believe huge amounts of voter fraud are committed in this country every election. Even to the extent that they want to bring Jim Crow laws back to help curb election shenanigans (I think that voter laws are the true fraud, but anyway).

So many states now require ID in a number of forms for proof of residency. Here in lies the dilemma, as everyone becomes part of (actually pushed to) a paperless society, how are we going to produce the required documentation. I know we can just pull out our "smart phones" and produce our utility bills, but who now confirms that that is a legitimate and valid address? No longer do the utility companies get a returned post for being undeliverable.

As we move away from snail mail, we lose that confirmation. Will the loss of this verification, open the door to more fraud at the polls. Everyone clamors for documented citizens, but with a paperless world how is that going to work?
<BTW I believe in an environmentally sound world>
