First things first, I don’t doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn’t.
But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?
Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don’t have to pre-register to vote.
I think it depends on what part of the country and how rural you are maybe 
While I currently live and vote in rural Georgia, I reached voting age in a densely populated county in Florida. Maybe it’s a southern states thing.
I don’t think I have to show any right now in a smaller town in the north east.
