Absolute assurances that everyone voting is the person they claim to be, a citizen, a resident of their district, not someone voting in more than 1 district, alive.
Can I assume that disenfranchising legitimate voters is preferable to even one illegally cast ballot? Nothing is perfect, so let's go for the best we can achieve, and not punish many for the sins of the very few.
You are being disingenuous. ID's are needed to collect public benefits, buy alcohol, buy certain medicines, travel by airplane, train, sometimes intercity bus, get medical care, drive a car, cash a check, open a bank account.
Needing an ID to vote is not too much of a burden.
