The current system (without Real ID) isn't really any less "secure". All Real ID does is force you to show a citizenship document to travel. It's designed to put pressure on illegal immigrants to self deport and punish States like California for who issue driver's licenses to non-citizens. There is no automatic reason that Real ID would even be required to vote, since voting is left up to the states anyway. If the state says you can use a business card to vote then you can.
