> I think this is fine if it also then means that obtaining a qualifying ID is treated as a no-cost and highly-accessible right for all citizens.

I completely agree and I don't think there is a fair argument to suggest otherwise.

Right, so proposals that do not adequately address this point are not fair, and this is why the issue is so contentious in the US.

I absolutely support ID to vote provided that everyone who is eligible and wants to vote can get such an ID and vote without hassle.

I don't support most attempts to pass Voter ID laws because I am wary that they would not actually result in that outcome.

Great but history is proof that it won’t be equally accessible to everyone. There’s no evidence these laws are necessary. This juice just ain’t worth the squeeze.
