I think a digital ID will be impossible to implement for the sole reason of evangelicals and the conspiratorial atmosphere in the country. There are already a ton of conspiracies floating around regarding ID2020. Get the government involved, and this shit is dead in the water.

Social security and driver's license numbers have already been abused to the extreme, and now form a backbone of the commercial surveillance web. Secure identification is an utterly terrible idea until the US gets something like the GDPR.
