We do not have a democracy (opens in new tab)

Voter ID disproportionally disenfranchises black voters, Latino voters, the elderly, low-income, students, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities, just to name a few.

There is no perfect system; the goal is to have the best imperfect system. Voter ID means net fewer voices heard, which is an erosion of democracy.

"Voter ID" is Jim Crow with a fancy name.

Anything that gives officials a lever to reject voters can and will be abused to limit voter participation. Voter suppression was documented in the case of Cambridge Analytica and is a major tool of the oligarchs.
