Maybe they should have asked in one of the states that is actually passing restrictive voter ID laws, and that is at the same time closing DMV offices in minority areas, limiting the hours that DMVs issue IDs, and has nearly non-existent affordable public transit.
The might have gotten different answers than asking in a state that is pro voter rights, in a neighborhood that has a DMV office, and that has excellent access to public transportation if for some reason the neighborhood DMV is not available.
In order for me to add my family to my insurance I had to provide identification for each of them, including a marriage certificate and drivers licenses for myself and my wife. All that just to get health insurance.
In order to vote you should have to identify yourself and that you are eligible to vote in a US election. It's complete nonsense that getting an ID in the US is just too much of a burden.

Almost no one opposed the idea of voter ID if it is free and easy for everyone who is eligible to vote to obtain such ID.
It's when shenanigans like those in North Carolina described in footnote 360 in this report [1] take place that it is a problem. The government knew that 25% of black voters lacked DMV-issued photo ID but the law provided that all government issued IDs would work (even expired ones), so that was fine. Then with race data in hand, the legislature amended the law to exclude most of those non-DMV IDs that black voters had, and retain the non-DMV IDs that white people were likely to have.

Regardless of what some people in Harlem think, data shows that minorities are in fact much less likely to have government ID.

The study you provided was a phone survey of less than 1,000 people that occurred 15 years ago. It along with other studies showing similar results were debunked by researchers at Stanford, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania.
The phone survey of less than a 1,000 people is still a perfectly valid piece of evidence. The methodology wasn't obviously flawed and the delta was so large that the sample size was more than enough.
Here's another survey from 2012 that shows a similar number.

Sure as your comment paper points out, you can't use nation wide data to prove state level causation, but there's still good evidence that minorities are much less likely to have government ID.
It's not a shocking result either. We know that not having ID correlates with low income, and minority status also correlates with low income (on average, sure there are some minorities that actually have higher income).

The first reference on your link is the exact link to the exact study the other commenter provided.
The second reference on your link itself uses as a reference the exact link to the exact study the other commenter provided.
Free, state issued ID is part of the answer but the opportunity cost getting to a photo booth (!) is still a surprisingly large inhibitor given the stringent requirements on photos. (I do my own photos at home, you have to have a reasonable colour printer, I edit on the computer but you could probably do it on a smartphone nowadays).
If people of a particular background are over-represented amongst the [very] poor (such as "White Irish" in the UK) then they'll be disproportionately disenfranchised.
CFA is just a decoy.
Then they go to Harlem to ask people what they think of those comments.

As for your claims themselves, In 3 months I studied 350 hours to pass the hardest test in finance while I was married, had three young children and worked full time. Nobody has time to do the things required to advance your career. You have to make the time.
For years, I also recruited and mentored students from an inner city bootcamp near me where the students spend 80-90 hours per week for 12 weeks learning software engineering. The vast majority of students are minority and there is fierce competition to hire graduates by local companies.
