You get your state issued ID from the same place you get a driver's license. Everyone knows this. It's a very small burden. It's not unreasonable to require people to prove in this very easy way that they actually live in the district that they're trying to vote in. I'm my state, you show ID, and if the address on your ID is an old address then you are required to provide a lease, utility bill or phone bill that shows your address. The only people that might have trouble with this are the homeless. I think the benefit of this policy in preventing voter fraud far outweighs any harm that it could potentially cause.

It's very clear the purpose of getting rid of a requirement to show ID to vote is to allow non citizens the ability to vote, which generally favors one side, which is why the side that it favors is always pushing for the removal of this "barrier"

If you don’t own a car how do you get to the DMV to get it?

I don’t care either way because I think voting is a scam but any added friction to vote seems like playing games.

Less than 40% of the US votes in presidential elections which is the high turnout. Fraud is not really a issue rather lack of participation

I don't own a car and I have an ID, because it's also a requirement to get a job.
