Then how many people would be disenfranchised because they lost their ID? If the purpose of this was really to combat voter fraud, it could be done an old-fashioned way, ink a finger of each voter with indelible ink so they can only vote once, or a high-tech way, take a digital photograph of each person as they vote. “Problem” solved, and no voters disenfranchised.

Agreed.

I have no problem with requiring an ID for voting. It’s the limitation of the allowable ID that is the problem. A gun license ID is good but a student ID or utility bill is not. All the current ID bullshit is solely to reduce the number of undesirable voters (meaning those who won’t vote the way they want).
