The US doesn't give ID to everybody. Not only is it handled by the states but you have to pay for the ID, and spend several hours on a business day at a DMV. This puts ID out of the range of easy availability for many people.

Also some ... shall we say less than fair counties and states do things like "voter registration is only available at DMV X in OtherSideOfStateTown on the third Tuesday of the month between 1400 and 1430".

I wouldn't dare suggest this was a way of specifically trying to disenfranchise the poorer, Democrat-leaning demographic.
