Well if you have a passport, which is federal ID, of course you don't need a state ID. But there are plenty of people who have criminal records that would prevent them from getting a passport, as well as plenty of people who just don't want the couple week process and complexity of getting a passport, or don't want to carry a bulky book when all they need is 1 page from it, and who have no intention of leaving the country. State IDs are the default for a ton of people who can't or don't drive.

They work the same as a book-style passport within the US, but can't be consistently used for international travel. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/card.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-pa...
