Conversely, maybe you can cite valid statistics from reliable sources showing how such laws have obstructed "the access to the voting process for individual who are actually citizens"? As far as I know, those states include GA, IN, KS, TN, WI, MS and VA. Seems like McCauliffe got elected in VA despite folks having to show and ID.
And this applies to the issue at hand how, exactly? How does extending the franchise to non citizens for local offices damage the integrity of the vote?

As to your proof, you can look at the findings of the courts which have overturned many of these laws or, since you seem to be enamored of Think Progress:
