@"RasheedsBigWhiteSpot", you've truly been impacted in a way that most persons of any color have not, due to a physical condition. 

I applaud you for not letting a disability keep you from doing what most of us take for granted. Obviously a person with a disability deserves as much to right as an able bodied person, but that doesn't negate the fact that there are provisions to make it possible, even if they are a hassle to go through. 

But in most states, a state issued id card is ten bucks or less. So the argument for a library card or student id to be acceptable for voting is kind of a moot point. They are much easier to counterfeit than most state issues ID cards are. Holograms, fake watermarks, magnetic stripes and security threads all make faking a state ID card expensive and difficult, when in most states they're $10 or less.

You are focusing on just the ID aspect but the ramifications go far beyond that.

This is not just about the difficulty in procuring IDs which itself is a problem for many poor people, but let us even park that aside. 

Check the changes in the link I have given This is about knowing voting patterns and targeting those who don’t vote for the Republican Party. Why would anyone be opposed to giving unsolicited information to others about mail in ballots? Why oppose 24x7 voting? Why make it more difficult for disabled workers?  Why empower some poll worker to monitor what I do at the ballot knowing most poll workers tend to be white?  This is about making it difficult and uncomfortable for sections of the population who the party feels won’t vote for them.  Plus in the past there have been shenanigans by the Republican Party to spread rumors about cops and arrests. Even minorities who have nothing to hide feel scared because of the nature of how interactions with law enforcement goes and they stay away. 

If it were just about IDs, though we may have a disagreement, I would probably end up supporting you because every country requires valid ID. However read then about why certain folks have it difficult and fight for them to make the process easier. Fight against the other provisions in this law that make it more difficult to vote just because the ones being targeted might not vote for one specific party. Whether we vote for the same party or not we both should be on the same side when it comes to opposing a lot of these changes in the new bill.
