I am OK with an ID being an option, but there needs to be other options for people who don't have an ID.
I don't have a problem showing proof of your identity and citizenship, but an ID should not be the only option.
I vote by mail and signatures are verified, so I am good with that for mail in ballots.

Which just eliminate physical ideas completely, and switch to digital IDs.
My face was all I needed to re-enter the country the last time I traveled internationally.
The last time I traveled domestically, I looked at the camera and tapped my phone at the TSA checkpoint.
If the technology is secure enough for TSA and passport control, it is good enough for anything.
Register once when you’re 18 in person. The rest of your life, you can renew your registration by updating your facial scan, using your cell phone from anywhere.
Easy, peasy.

I would. Being a legal U.S. citizen, there's absolutely no reason for me not to. Now if I were NOT a legal citizen, or was desperately trying to empower non-citizen, illegal aliens to vote, then no, I wouldn't support it.

Non-driver photo IDs in Connecticut generally cost $28 for a new card and $24–$32 for renewals. However, they are free for specific individuals, including those currently experiencing homelessness, living in a shelter or transitional housing, or blind veterans.

Without context, yes. The context that makes my answer a yes is if government-issued IDs are issued free to those who need one to vote. If you’re telling me I need to go pay the government for an ID to vote, then that’s charging me to vote, which is illegal.

The right to freely travel within the United States has been recognized as a fundamental constitutional right. Saenz v. Roe, 526 U.S. 489 (1999). Yet you can't get on an airplane without a passport or a Real ID©. If it can be required for ond fundamental constotutional right then it can be required for another.

There are two legitimate arguments for and against voter photo ID
Republicans legitimately argue for photo ID using alleged voter fraud as the reason.
Democrats argue against voter photo ID using voter suppression as the reason.
Not every legitimate voter in America has a photo ID and the cost and inconvenience of getting one may stop some elderly and infirm from voting.
A simple solution is to send every eligible voter a free, taxpayer funded, voter photo identification card.
That should satisfy everyone
But, I am sure it won’t

I’ve been showing ID to vote for years, I do not understand what the big deal is. People have to show ID to buy alcohol, but flip out when it is proposed to show ID to vote, it makes no sense.

Yes, but it has to be at the state level. Elections are managed by the states per the Constitution, even national elections.
