The way you read this is - hey, we shouldn’t require voter ID.
The way I read this is - holy sh*t, the government must rush and make sure all these people can get an Id easily (has nothing to do with voting).
I think there is actually an obvious good compromise here - Require Id for voting if and only if 99.5% (should be set by specialists) of county’s population has an Id. If the county doesn’t meet this threshold (I’d imagine most poor and republican counties) - don’t require it until it meets the threshold. Obviously people not being able to get an Id is somewhat an urgent problem that needs fixing.
