Everyone who cares about universal voting rights should oppose near-term voter ID laws because ID cards are not free and easily accessible.
People who live in unstable situations and are transportation limited have difficulty maintaining all of the documentation necessary to get IDs or getting to places that will renew or replace expired or lost IDs.
Make IDs free, ubiquitous, and easily accessible (meaning easily accessible for a homeless person who can’t walk), and then voter ID laws are fine. But until then, voter IDs are poll taxes.
