solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
but I don't see how requiring an ID poses an undue hardship on anyone, especially when it's already required to buy alcohol, cigarettes, get on a plane, visit some government tourist sites, etc.
I agree that the problem doesn't exist. Therefore, no action is necessary. That way, no legit voter will be inconvenienced or turned away.
What you don't see is that getting state issued picture ID can be difficult for some people for a lot of reasons. You already made it clear that there's no legit reason to put anybody through it. But you poo-pooh your way past what can be a serious problem.
Texashiker is illustrative of why Repubs want strict voter ID- it discourages all but the zealots, marginalizes lots of people who aren't. They just want to win, and ruling from what really is a minority opinion gives them no qualms at all. They're on a mission from God.
