[quote=Anonymous][quote]Free government assistance obtain the ID — or acceptable forms of ID that don’t disproportionately impact any group of people. It doesn’t make sense to me that a student ID with a picture issued by a state university would not be acceptable - when a gun license is just fine.

So, older person born at home in a tiny town in, let’s say Alabama. No birth certificate, no Baptismal record, might have a family Bible indicating their birthdate.[b] The onus should not be on this citizen to spend the considerable time and money it would take — if it is even possible— to meet the standards for obtaining a Real ID[/b] in, say, Hawaii, in order to fulfill a drummed up solution to a problem that doesn’t appreciably exist. It’s worth pointing out, yet again, that many of the forms of ID deemed acceptable require a birth certificate before they will be issued. [/quote]

Exactly. The onus should not be on the citizen, particularly if they are poor. Now, having a Real ID is becoming increasingly important,

[i]Beginning October 1, 2021 every state and territory resident will need to present a REAL ID compliant license/ID, or another acceptable form of identification, for accessing federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and boarding commercial aircraft[/i]

So, let's have the federal government resolve free of charge all the issues of missing documents (birth certificates, etc) and provide the citizen with a free US passport which will empower the citizen to all benefits of having a Real ID and resolve, in passing, the voter ID issue.
