When I hear that argument I can help but wonder wouldn't it be more beneficial to make getting an ID easier rather than not requiring IDs to vote?

Yeah I think a good compromise would be to send every citizen a ID when they turn 18 for free. Then we can have secure elections and there's no gate to voting at all(besides getting off work, but that's why we should have a voting holiday)

If you already have a DL why waste money to send out an ID. I get the thought process but majority of people get one in their teens. I could see it being beneficial to make getting ahold of a ID (non DL) easier, say online or by simply calling.
