In addition to the critiques about the research, we still have to keep in mind that the CENTRAL policy issue is to balance the benefits of barriers to ineligible votes being cast to the costs of such barriers. E.g., we could have much stricter policing of income taxes, but at some point we would find the costs (tangible and intangible) to be more than many wish to pay. For elections: do we want to institute policies that prevent a number of improperly cast ballots if those same policies also prevent a much larger number of eligible ballots from being cast?
