The angst against "voter ID" as a form of voter disenfranchisement makes no sense to me, as an immigrant the first thing I did when I got to the U.S. is secure a form of government issued ID - stateID or drivers license, because I understood that having an ID enabled me to do something as simple as getting a library card so that I could borrow books for my family and I https://web.ocpl.org/n/LibraryCardApplication/#/ https://web.ocpl.org/n/LibraryCardApplication/#/ In fact the DMV is packed with immigrants trying to get stateID because they recognize the benefits accrued from having one. The process is simple and straightforward and in my view would silence the whole "non-citizens and illegal immigrants are allowed to vote".
