The question has only arisen because Republicans started screaming about voter fraud (because too many brown people were voting). Our problem has been (1) not immediately responding that their premise was flawed and (2) too many people of privilege among our ranks saying, "What's the big deal - everyone has/can get an ID?" So now some of us are playing back-track (from positions of "what's the big deal"
and catch-up to a movement that we allowed to be presumed to be legitimate because we were not united in our immediate challenge to these laws as intended to be discriminatory.
The "real" ID law is a solution in search of a problem that does not exist.
At a bare minimum, anyone who has been ever been registered to vote anywhere should be allowed to continue to vote, to change their name without losing the right to vote, or to move to another voting jurisdiction without having to prove citizenship.
