I would have thought it was mostly (a) to ensure only citizens voted
and (b) that nobody attempted to vote twice (though in a recent
election there was a scandal concerning one group of immigrants who
professed not to speak English but were caught going from station to
station voting multiple times - we're talking about a team of about
20-30 individuals who were though to have voted 15-20 times each)

 I would be very interested to know where this happened.
 

I presume he's speaking of Canada and I've seen no such stories in the press with regard to actual elections.  As I mentioned earlier, similar behavior is not unknown in candidate nomination meetings, sometimes as the behest of foreign countries.
I do recall two scandals which did lead to legal action.
People within the conservative party engaged in voter suppression on a large scale in 2011 and successfully stonewalled the investigation to the point that only one person was tried and convicted.  In the same election  the liberal candidate in the  riding south of me filed suit claiming that 181 illegal votes had been cast.  A judge threw out 79 but the supreme court in a 4-3 decision let the election stand even though thew winning margin was 26.
