Like how many people ARE registered to vote but lack ID?

Less than 1.2% as of 2010, in a survey of voters in three states: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0275074009342892

And in Indiana, the state with strictest ID laws, less than 0.3% of registered voters lacked ID.

In the meantime, for those who lack ID, getting an ID is a good thing.

I'm an outsider, but 1.2% seems quite relevant to me, considering the spread in the last presidential election was just 2.1%.

And that is the popular vote, which had a much larger margin than the vote that actually counted. The election was decided by a few hundred thousand votes in the right places, which makes it more like a 0.5% margin.

People without ID probably don’t register making this number very small
