Despite being repeated ad nauseum, this has been patently false for the better part of a century and has no relationship with reality.

What? Millions of Americans don’t have any government ID, and that group is disproportionately racial minorities and poor folks.

Make IDs universally available (I.e. free federal IDs handed out proactively by driving offices out to rural areas and workplaces) and I don’t think you’d see much resistance to this.

The problem is that the “you need to have ID to vote” folks would never support such an idea. Complete mystery as to why!

How many millions? What % of the voting age population?

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, “up to 11% of the eligible voting population.”

Is your position that it’s alright if we just disenfranchise a few people?

I am cautiously pro-id but I disagree with you. The ACLU opposes voter IDs because they have been used to restrict access:
