If that were true surely Republican's would be proposing making IDs free themselves no? If the purpose is to protect the integrity of our elections and not to disenfranchise voters, surely that would be step 1 right?

I'm not aware of any such proposals, are you?

32 states already require IDs for voting.

That number is a bit misleading. For example Idaho is counted in that 32, and here we are required to show ID OR sign an affidavit. Also are those IDs free? Otherwise I'm not sure what that changes about my point.
