No. There are not "many people" like this.

How come no one is protesting showing ID to buy alcohol or cigarettes? Or prescription meds? Or to receive govt benefits?
How is it the *only* thing people get outraged about having to show ID for, is *voting*? Being required to show ID for all the other stuff is fine with them.
It really is a magical contradiction, isn't it?
Are those things enshrined in our constitution as a right?
Nah they're just required for daily life.
Same i might add for buying a house, visting the social security office, applying for most government benefits, cashing checks, western union, and establishing a bank account.
I think it reflects your privilege that you don’t recognize that there are a whole lot of people who never do any of those things.
Uh I said apply for benefits.
And yes id is required.
