What about those of us who are unable to obtain government ID?

  You’re default fucked anyway current state based on this anecdote. Broadly speaking, government should make it as straightforward as possible to obtain a legitimate government credential from an equity perspective for a variety of lifetime identity needs (and about 1% of the US population has no government ID). Out of 200 countries, 170 have a national ID system. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/08/voting-rights-national-id-card/619772/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/08/voting-...

    I'm the 1% in the USA, due to immigration issues.

      No gov creds from home country on hand from across the pond? Should be able to walk into an embassy or consulate and have them provided if you haven’t yet. Purposely being vague to attempt to answer your inquiry without divulging your personal info.

        Yes, it's a process, but I can get my UK passport back from the embassy. My USA green card got burned up in a building fire last year, and my passport is just missing, which presents a problem. Not being able to get USA ID makes it very hard to get registered on many web sites though :(
