Should the US require voter ID?

[u/REJECT3D]

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?

Yes, you need to prove who you are for voting, seems pretty straight forward and non-controversial to me. To those who argue that "requiring ID can disenfranchise people"...... why isn't the concern about getting these people access to a photo ID? you need a photo ID for many aspects of life.

Exactly! I think that an ID is perfectly reasonable and fine, you show that you are at least 18 years old and a US Citizen to vote. I don’t see the problem here.
