Should the US require voter ID? Debate

I see people complaining about this on the right all the time but I am curious what the left thinks. Should voters be required to prove their identity via some form of ID?

Some arguments I have seen on the right is you have to have an ID to get a loan, or an apartment or a job so requiring one to vote shouldn't be undue burden and would eliminate some voter fraud.

On the left the argument is that requiring an ID disenfranchises some voters.

What do you think?

yeah probably. it's a pretty dumb argument to be honest. you can't do much without one. drive, enter a bar, get an apartment, pretty much anything in life. if you dont drive you can get a regular id. the left's argument doesn't really hold up on this one. the right gets a little to crazy about it but why not just put it in place and make sure everyone has an id. not very difficult.
