If you check ID, but make that ID available only through a particular process that is difficult for some people to access, you've effectively disenfranchised that demographic. This has actually happened in some states, where older black people who didn't have access to the amenities of the state when they were young have been unable to vote because they now lack the things they "should" have. It's similar to the problems with poll taxes and literacy tests.
