The disenfranchisement argument is one of the worst-sourced claims floating around the public sphere. And it's transparently bogus. Photo IDs are essentially mandatory for participation in civic life in the US. Everyone has them.

Voting is enshrined in the constitution as a fundamental right. Not everyone can get a photo ID, especially when the state doesn't want them to.
That's such an asinine and patronizing comment. People need to stop treating us minorities as some stupid and incapable people. Every single adult is capable of getting a photo ID - if they can be bothered to vote, they can be bothered to spend a few minutes getting a photo ID.
The real reason people oppose voter ID is because democrats won't be able to cheat. Voting is enshrined in the constitution as a fundamental right but cheating is not enshrined.
Also interesting how all 3 sources you linked are from radical left to left leaning sources.
Some people may genuinely care about voter suppression, whether you think it's a non-issue or not. I wouldn't be so quick to assume malice.
