"A county in Wisconsin only issued them from a DMV that was only open on the fifth Wednesday of every month[1]"
That's a flat lie, as the article itself makes clear. That particular DMV desk (not office) is just the nearest to that one small town (not county), and residents there can go to any other DMV in the state as well.
Meanwhile, you need an ID anyway to have a bank account, enter a Federal building or state courthouse (even if summoned to jury duty), etc.
Partisans are so desperate to push this narrative, truth goes by the wayside.
An id by mail should suffice, after all you have to live at that address to get the mail.
If you're homeless you should be able to give a thumbprint to validate your identity.
I mean we could technically just have a DB of thumbprints, that are ONLY tied to the fact that you are a citizen of x town. No name, address, etc.. So there's no way the db could be used against you by the NSA or FBI etc... But no matter what you can get a ballot even if you forget your id at home.
Or make it so same-day registration and id registration at voting places is a thing and make early voting standard so you have from October 1st through the 2nd Tuesday of November to vote. You can register at ANY voting booth, if you do not have ID your ID will be setup there as well for FREE.
Opening a bank account and entering the courthouse are not constitutionally protected rights.
The US abolished poll taxes in 1964. Since then, any action that places a financial burden on a potential voter is likely unconstitutional.
At the end of the day, the latest batch of ID requirements are a solution in search of a problem. Voter fraud at the polling station is rare in the US - existing protections work well enough that any contrary example is usually national news.
