ID is ok as long as it's stupid easy to obtain if you don't have what is the default national id drivers license. The faction that tries to suppress voting want voter ID so they can then restrict what ID is needed to get government issued ID without holding a drivers license. Voter ID isn't the issue, how to get the ID is. There is a solution though. Issue a national health card at birth with a requirement to have it reissued with a picture after age 18. So Medicare for all solves two issues. Health care and voter ID.
Requiring a copy of photo ID to be mailed is a joke. The entire point of photo ID is that you're supposed to make sure the picture on the ID matches the person who handed it to you.

I 100% agree we should ask for ID at polling places. But does that really do any good if everyone's allowed to vote by mail for no reason?

Here is a site that I think was meant to show how bad it is, but could be condensed down if they wanted to actually help people.

The info here seems to contradicts your statements, so if you don’t agree, don’t yell at me, talk to the site.

I still get a gear ground when I remember what little information it takes to request a ballot and how much information was leaked in Equifax.
