Sure, if you had a free and convenient citizen ID card, requiring ID to vote might be just fine.

As it is currently, it's absolutely a way to suppress the vote of low-income (and minority) people. In many areas of many states getting photo ID is non-trivial, especially if you're in a shitty job.

Hence why I said start the program today, with the same level of canvassing as a census, and then enforce it some time in the future.

You also have to work out some way of dealing with those who fear The Mark of the Beast.
