Absolutely.
The left wants undocumented people to be able to vote - it helps their cause.
So they want voters without paperwork to back up whether they are eligible to vote or not.
When you call them on it, they say that some people don't have the right paperwork (driver's license or state ID card) and it's too burdensome for them to go get it. (This hypothetical person is disabled, elderly, doesn't have a car, and has to ride a bus for 10 hours in each direction to get to the only Elections Dept in their entire state, which is only open every other Tuesday from 9am to 10am.) I'm being facetious here, but I've heard this type of argument against Voter IDs being used, many times.
You need an ID to get a library card or pick up a package at the Post Office.
Nonetheless, the only way to assuage this nonsensical argument is to make the Voter ID card easy to get. You still have to establish eligibility, same as you would if you applied for a passport, etc. But the card itself should have local offices (Elections Dept in each county) and it should be free. It also should be robust. My thought was to make it possible to get one of these at your Department of Licensing when you renew your driver's license. They are usually open pretty good hours and they are all over the place. My DOL also keeps track of registering you for Organ Donation if you die. Why not voter registration as well? Or possibly the Post Office. A lot of local Post Offices also do passport applications, so this wouldn't be difficult to add. And there is a Post Office in almost every town in the US.
