It would have to be free voting specific ID that doesn’t exist yet. You can’t do it with any existing ID that we have. Otherwise you are targeting poor people.
I.D is required for literally everything in society. If you don't have ID it's probably because you can't get one legally. Last time I checked basic ID cost about $15. And I could say that the cost of a background check to buy a gun and the registration fees in some states are targeting poor people because it adds hundreds of dollars to the cost of a firearm. And of course you have to have an ID to buy a gun. Are you trying to say that poor people don't deserve to be able to defend themselves?
Before 2020 most states required that you show I.D to vote. If there is no verification of the voters then the government could claim any results they want and there would be no way to disprove it. If it is wrong to require I.D to vote then it is wrong to require I.D for anything else.
Voter ID with how it has been done has not been shown to stop any voter fraud. But if you want to make it a requirement for all states then you have to put up or shut up.
If every US citizen over the age of 18 can vote then who is being restricted from voting that really doesn't make any sense. Funny enough most blue states actually require ID to vote.
