The problem with Voter ID isn't the ID itself, per se. It's a problem when coupled with very active, intentional voter suppression from those who control what forms of ID are acceptable, and how easy it is to obtain them, which is known to vary across demographics. None of this is controversial: I live in North Carolina and the courts have repeatedly struck down Voter ID implementations from the (supermajority Republican) state legislature because the implementations "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision."
